Biggy big news....big....biggy....just in....
From a high level AGB operative cunningly positioned in the Parliament House lunch queue. Special Agent Blog overheard observed the Honourable Peter Costello MP getting stuck into internet salary cap scammer and Essendon full forward, Matthew Lloyd, for blowing his opportunity to win last Friday's game against the Kangaroos.
Perhaps Bombré fans realise their "Greatest Ever Team" "Era of Underacheivement" is coming to a close. They're certainly very quick to stick the boots in. Fickle mush heads.
And in case you wanted to know what he ordered. A strawberry milkshake.
On various rampages through Parliament House when I was a trusted employee there I witnessed:
a) Bob Brown purchasing a banana
b) Laurie Oakes purchasing pumpkin soup and
c) Natasha Stott Despoja drinking lattes on numerous occasions.
The fun never stops in the coridoors of power I can assure you. THey also made me sign a stat dec saying I wouldn't leak any state secrets. I worked in the gift shop! Thats about as exciting as any info I ever came accross. Weird.

Caz, you didn't say whether Laurie was purchasing by the bucket, barrel or vat....

A styro cup? Where's the crockery? I thought the nation's leaders ate in a dining room, not a lowly canteen.

Laurie Oakes is one of the nations leaders?
Yes there's a dining room up there, funnily enough called the Members Dining room. There's a povo staff canteen for everyone else and a coffee shop called "Aussies" where MPs and plebs alike flock for some coffee and snacks. The above incidents all took place at Aussies.

Caz, in the fine tradition of the "Members Dining Room", how come "Aussies" isn't called "Povo's Staff Canteen"?
Posted by: Tony.T | 20 June 2003 at 09:10
Because Aussies and the Staff Canteen are two different things. Get with the program. Jeez.

Oh yeaaahh. I see. Now where's that program. Does the povo staff canteen have a name? I see an opportunity.
