That's a brilliant idea, great for the economy

just imagine how many people would stay home to watch and order pizza home delivery

Great for business

He could probably introduce public executions and he wouldn't be any less popular than the dangerous sad clown with the forced laugh that presides at present.

Is this some kind of joke? Prince Philip has been made a Knight in the Australian honours list! So is he Sir Prince Philip or Prince Sir Philip or Sir Prince Duke of Edinburgh Philip?

For fucks sake Abbott, call an election and let's be rid of you!

When he announced the return of knights and dames as Australia's top honours last March, Mr Abbott said the honour would be reserved for Australians whose contributions to national life were thrust upon them rather than sought.

Abbott would've regained heaps of popularity had Daniel Ricciardo won AotY. Deep down, we all know he is.

It can't be accidental that the name Tassie includes "mania" within itself, surely?

Does a knighthood really count if it wasn't offered in Britain? Might as well get it free with a box of cereal otherwise.

Van Diemens Land is perhaps more apt?

It makes me think of the sunny surfin' seventies with Sandman panel vans and lil' Herbie going all summer long wearing nothing but a burkini. Of course Summers weren't as hot then, particularly in 'mania, so it took grit and determination, abs of steel and the odd bushfire.
This is most likely where my admiration of a fit hard body came from, all those years ago at Marawah.Nah! Those days are probably gone forever, unless the Greens wanna bring 'em back.

I never knew of a hard bud like lil' Herb, until then. And it's not that she did a lot of exercise. Laying on a towel tanning mostly. How come some people tan really well, almost instantly, whereas I go red and peel.

To be fair she did surf and play netball. And bounce around

in the back of that Sandman van.
I remember it went through more than one set of springs, which is really odd, as it never went anywhere... and it used to smoke heaps...?

Good Lord

I just had a vision of Max, Sir MaxJoker that is, on a horse in a jousting match
