As a parting “never ever” in honour of the outgoing PM, we’re putting up one of the ten GST extra uses from the book.
Today the Liberals performed the greatest act of generosity towards the political cartooning profession since appointing Alexander Downer as opposition leader all those years ago by putting Brendan at the wheel, so it seems appropriate to put up Brendan’s entry.
Speaking about taking the slow road to nowhere, Brendan Nelson’s taken up a new career as a Mystery Bus Tour Operator.
Designed specifically for deceased people who always regretted not travelling more when they were alive, the coffins are loaded on board (there’s no allocated seating) and with Brendan at the wheel, everyone takes off on the adventure of slightly longer than a lifetime.
Brendan will fire up the public address system, confidently pretending to know what the local landmarks are, secure in the knowledge that none of the passengers are going to ask any tricky questions.
Adding to the fun is that the bus is ex-Australian military issue, purchased from Dodgy Motors USA, so is extremely unlikely to keep going long enough for Brendan to get propoerly lost, which is a blessing as nobody wants to get stuck on Brendan’s Magical Mystery Bus when the air conditioning breaks down.

Surely you are going to have some fun with that smarmy grin of Kevin 07’s? My old flatmate from Double Bay reckons you should draw him with a little white dog…he has a lot of good ideas, you know?
Trust you enjoyed the night and had a bottle of Hunter Valley wine from 2004 to help you celebrate!

Mr Nelson would be quickly ejected from his driving seat and launched into the netherworld…
