Liberal LOLs

So, you are trying to woo Bob Katter on-side. What are the best ways to do this? I gather locking Warren Truss up in a cupboard under the stairs is the starting point. But telling the media that Bob once issued a death threat against you? Wow, that is .... a novel approach. Tony Abbott must be wandering the halls of Parliament muttering 'please....don't HELP'. How stupid are these people? I mean, it isn't like Bob is going to find that funny or anything. He is a pretty um, literal kinda guy.  I also suspect that Richo didn't help the situation on Q&A the other night suggesting to Tony Windsor that he should be the speaker. Tony Windsor categorically ruled out taking the speakers job before the election. Rob Oakeshott was the one being rumoured to be potentially offered the speakers gig. Wonder if Richo didn't know (seems hard to believe that if I know with my limited sources) or was stirring or something.
