Theresa May

 

A political statement in barbed wire and chains, all of respectable corporate security state provenance. Tony Abbott's hairshirt and lycra is for sissies, and Maggie T was far too easy on you bastards

Tony Abbott is wigging out

 

Our Dear Leader continues his spiritual journey, discovering that endangered barnacles can't just be bulldozed aside without an EIS, and besides the buggers are hard to shift.

So well attached they'd rip his heart and liver out

Police Provocateur

California Highway Patrol are planting undercover police in demos against police violence and impunity in Oakland and elsewhere.

This handsome fellow and his partner were attempting to incite looting when unmasked by the crowd

Would his superiors have been secretly pleased if the crowd had torn them to pieces?

A few spare heads

 

When you head a government as popular and laden with achievement as Tony Abbott's, you need a few spares in case any of the dummies lose theirs, or have them knocked off

 

You wouldn't believe how many Joe Hockey goes through

I can't breathe

 

The power of the people against tyranny and the barbarous death cult of eternal war

The educated face of Christopher Pyne

 

Chris Pyne has been burning the midnight oil perfecting his 'Grimace of an Ogre' for an examination at Twerp, Michael Gove's finishing school for education ministers, located under a medieval bridge close to Far Kew.

Parliamentary clown fire brigade

 

Tony Abbott to Scott Morrison

Ok, issue the red noses, plaid suits, really long shoes and extra large sad eyes.

Peta Credlin to Abbott

I've hooked the fire hydrant to to the liberal party badge on your label. Time to go put out some fires with Barnaby Joyce and Warren Truss

Coal is good for you

 

You can burn it, you can coke it, you can smoke it, you can even eat it, just ask Joe Hockey and Jamie Briggs.

 It can make you a killing if you get in quick

Chris Pyne plans to fix the curriculum by giving due emphasis to the biblical passages than concern purifying the earth by extracting coal reserves and burning them, not to mention the valuable space liberated

Death Cult Tax a great investment in the future

So says Matthias Cormann, and his finger

Bugsplat - My little hammer

 

The cares of office weigh heavy for President Barack Obama, no-one could begrudge him his little hammer as he stands in for Undead Secretary of State John Kerry

 Bugsplat, no big wars, but plenty of guts on the windsheild

IPA poetry masterclass

 

Don Rumsfeld has been brought out by the Institute of Public Affairs to instruct Chris Berg in the finer points of poetry and torture as described in the Gitmo field manual, the known unknowns of an alien probe from a fossil-fuel baron,

 

Feel the power of Wall St Bullshit 

Eric Abetz

The Jokester: Sloppy Joe Hockey

Half a wit and half a raconteur, Jokin Joe Hockey can't resist his own genius.

The poor don't drive cars, or if they do they won't get far.  They'll be sitting on the side of the highway cause they've run out of petrol. Hahahar, isn't life funny sometimes?

Ebola nurses

Under-equipped nurses at an Ebola treatment centre somewhere in West Africa.

Why don't John Kerry and Julie Bishop take a few minutes out of the great game and put some resources into this epidemic before it gets further out of control, rather than devoting them to destabilising some countries, and bombarding others?

Tell the IMF this war aint over ...

 

Tell the IMF this war aint over till I fill my numbered account

No wonder Poroshenko is on drugs, with Vladimir Putin in one ear suggesting he could be in Kiev in 2 weeks, and Arseniy Yatsenyuk in the other.

Yats is shouting, screaming, and, worst of all, pouting

 

Oversized hand on his heart

St Joe of Tripodi

Rupert Murdoch's second childhood

 

As Rupe goes gaga, the whole world becomes demented with him.

The Chocolate Soldier's War

 

Plant a tree

Fertilise it with blood and bone.

Tony Abbott would like to thank the Ukrainian regime for the Australian bodies they have so kindly delivered.

In return we agree to declare the black boxes and air traffic control records top secret. Not that anyone has anything to hide

Meanwhile, ll innocent like, Vladimir Putin waits at the negotiating table, as troops not under his command turn the tables on the battlefield

 

Voodoo dreams. 

John Kerry, foreign minister of the Undead States of America fills Poroshenko's head with narcotic visions of the army of hell sweeping all before it with the Chocolate oligarch himself in command.

To sweeten the deal he mobilises  advance battalions of orcs, but never quite enough to prevail

 

Back in the world of Realpolitik Angela Merkel and Putin decide how to divide the praline to their mutual satisfaction

Christine Lagarde of the IMF - I am not guilty

 

Christine Lagarde has been accused of organising a $500 000 000 kickback to Bernard Tapie, a colourful business identity and donor to the presidential campaign of her boss Nicolas Sarkozy of the UMP

Lagarde: Evidemment, I am not guilty, as any fool can see that this devious starfish is responsible. It has disgraced the independent remuneration panel I appointed it to lead

Starfish: Bof, the gall!

Kim Williams - bullet points from a bullet head

Dum-Dum ammunition has been fired, no war crime in the corporate context. Impacts have turned Kim Williams head into an even clunkier projectile

- Is Rupert Murdoch a feudal throwback? you said it - how did you guess? In any case there's no need to make up new words to describe my repudiated, former liege lord

Does the Australian lose money? bwahaha

How does one calculate and book the value of investment in an influence peddling network? Is Rebecca Brooks still available as a firewall?

Just how does Andrew Bolt massage his masters wrinkles, spookily far away in New York? Haptic touchy-feelies and a couple of iphones

eeeeuuw - don't visualise that!

Hands up, don't shoot!

Civil rights in Ferguson, Missouri (etc)

Barry Obomber

Don't do dumb shit

Ferguson. Modern policing

 

Hands up, don't shoot

Police murdering youth

Nathan Tinkler and his mates

Bought up all the MPs in the lower hunter, and a little more besides

Mike Gallagher  - what price the police ministry?

NSW Premier Bruce Baird knows there are certain traditions that have to be upheld.

But a Charlestown Lib and his wife got more than they bargained for

 

Swansea's Gerry Edward's communes with the ghost of Barry O'Farrell, crying into an empty bottle of Grange

 

I'm huntin' wabbits. (Never let a crisis go to waste)

Tony Abbott's going take this opportunity to clean up the NSW Liberal Party

Another MP Ko-ed - Owen announces his resignation

Liberal cackling

 

Gina Rinehart and Chris Pyne cackle to see Joe Hockey going apeshit

George Brandis sponsorship deal

With Tony Abbott and some logos and livery. Warren Truss gets a suitably emblazoned guernsey too

Like any respectable arts festival, political leaders have no business rejecting corporate sponsors, how would they ever know what to do in government otherwise?

There's still plenty of room for more. Add your suggestions below

John Brennan's head - My gift to you

An extraordinary rendition

Barack Obama puts on his best John F Kennedy grin(or shiteater grin if you prefer), as he praises Saudi Abdullah for human rights and GLBT queerness.

And in accordance with custom, Abdullah has a gift in return

No Such Orchestra - the Clappertron

New advances in mindfuck technology

You've seen James Clapper play the theremin, now you can play the world's brainwaves in the Global Theatre of Combat.

Through the democratisation of technology, we can now all enter the Twilight Zone

And here it is, the Insect Intelligence Auditorium.

The technical spec is cloaked in secrecy and disinformation, but it has been observed to transform into a cicada which transforms into Battlestar Galactica
