Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, today has defended claims that Mr Nick Styant-Browne made on the 7:30 Report last night, in regards to the Prime Minister lying about having not seen a Commenwealth Bank fax, which would have meant she would have had knowledge about the improper use of a slush fund to purchase a house. The Prime Minister maintains that she has no recollection of seeing the document.

The Prime Minister probably wishes that she also has no recollection of knowledge about the coup against Prime Minster Kevin Rudd, making and then breaking the 'no carbon tax' promise, or the misogynistic grass patch that caused her to trip over in New Delhi.

Tony Abbott today has revealed that under a Coalition Government, Australia's humanitarian refugee intake would be cut by more than 6,000 places.

 

"Oh my, God!" exclaimed a Nauru detainee as he heard the announcement, "Australia DOES have a humanitarian refugee intake quota!"

An elderly couple in the Zhejiang province in China, has had a motorway built around their home after refusing to move out, despite being offered compensation by the Chinese government.

Man, imagine backing out of that driveway and trying to merge with traffic every morning. What a nightmare!
