Gymnast back flipping headline act is the man who wants his own way, back flipping to hold on to his job, the ‘irrepressible’ Malcolm.
Get in the queue to see the human wrecking ball, the man with aspirations to take the headline act, the Queensland Cane Toad, Peter.
Amazing knife thrower and back stabber extraordinaire is mega-mouth Bill, but coming soon to Cirque du Parliamenteil is the shark himself, not the golfing one, but the one ready to attack his way into the knife stabbing act – ambitious Albo.
Don’t miss these wondrous acts of self indulgent grandeur, idly promising to be the greatest act of all, but rarely delivering anywhere near the level of ability people hope for.

Never in the annals of history, have so many, wanted so much from so few … and get non delivery.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the government set out to make the lives of the hardworking everyday Australian a little better.
Power and gas plentiful and affordable, a place to call home with a couple of good feeds a day.
When disaster strikes instant and compassionate help.
Australia is the ‘Lucky Country’, the best country on this planet.
How close are we to saying, “Used to be!”?
I was asked the other day who I was going to vote for.
I couldn’t say, being so disillusioned with all parties.
It is no surprise the informal vote seems to grow, as more and more shake their head in disbelief.
If a party steps up, and without any bull dung, says we are here to keep Australia great, make each of our lives better and lead us into a prosperous future, I may just vote for them … providing they’ve got policies to match the rhetoric.

Hilltops Council has appointed Dr Edwina Marks as the new General Manager.
Dr Marks comes well credentialed, with extensive experience and is expected to commence duties September 10.
I sincerely hope she makes herself well known to the citizens of Boorowa and Harden and becomes quickly aware Hilltops is not focused around Young and that the needs of Hilltops Council area be treated as a whole.

Some of us are optimists, or opportunists, others realists.
Take this 75 year old man having a quiet drink in a Melbourne pub.
A gorgeous young woman enters and sits down a few seats away.
She is so attractive that he can’t take his eyes off her.
She notices him staring and approaches him.
Before the man can apologise, the girl looks him in the eyes and says to him in a sultry tone, “I’ll do anything you can imagine in your wildest dreams.”
“It doesn’t matter how unusual or extreme it is, I’m game.
“I want $100, but there’s one other condition.”
Completely stunned, the man asks her what that condition is.
“You have to tell me what you want in just three words.”
Taking a moment to consider the offer, the old fellow whips out his wallet and puts $100 in the girl’s hand.
He looks her square in the eyes, and says slowly and clearly, ”Paint my house.”
Consider:
“The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails. (W A Ward)
