#67: The eighth dwarf

John Howard eighth dwarf

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go… until that deep green zealot Nicholas Stern spoils our fun just because the climate’s going to warm up a bit. You’d think he’d appreciate a few extra degrees on the thermometer while he’s lazing around on the beach all day, though admittedly there don’t seem to be quite as many beaches as there used to be.

Australia’s got to play to its natural advantages, the major one being its extraordinary ability to ignore the consequences of burning coal.

Meet Sooty. He’s the dwarf who didn’t feel like embracing the concept of the flexible workforce. He’s also slightly taller than the other dwarfs, so reckons he’ll be less affected by rising sea levels.

Luckily, Sooty’s seven brothers have proven to be a little more visionary. Sneezy’s started up a windfarm and Doc’s coordinating treatment of the dengue fever epidemic in Tasmania. Dopey, Happy and Sleepy are growing hemp, allegedly for paper production, Grumpy’s running a geothermal power station and Bashful’s shagging Snow White now she’s split up with the Prince, because once you’ve had dwarf, you can never go back.

    Nice work on Sooty.
    We have a new Indian coal mining company starting up on the Illawarra coal field, about to dig under the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW. And another company about to dig under Dr Hewson’s farm at Sutton Forest (Shock Horrror).
    The attitude is you have to dig it up even faster, now that the greenies are trying to stop them.

    No, Denis…you have to dig it up quickly before it runs out!
