This is meant as a stab at the Australian Government. You can twist it around to suit your own Government.

Enjoy!

Howard: John Howard, Australian Prime Minister.
Hill: ?
Costello: Peter Costello, Australian National Treasurer.
McGinty: Jim McGinty, Australian Attorney General.
Downer: Alexander Downer, Australian Foreign Minister.
Ruddock: Australian Immigration Minister.
Crean: Simon Crean, Australian Labor Party leader.


Howard: Well, men, the war has begun. I’d like an update from all departments.

Howard: Ah, Hill – security at home?

Ship-shape, sir. And I’ve had my anthrax shot.
Howard: Yes, yes, all right, Hill. Costello – the war economy?
Costello: Flogged off everything we can flog, sir. Organising a war tax and collecting tins on Friday.
Howard: Roger!
Costello: Err, Peter actually.
Howard: Attorney General – the legalities of the war?
McGinty: If it ain’t legal, we’ll legislate to make it legal!
Howard: Carry on. Downer – Foreign affairs?
Downer: Goodo. I’ve sucked up to the Yanks and I’ve told the French they’ve got 48 hours to tidy up their act, or else.
Howard: Or else, what?
Downer: Or else we change the name of our potato chips.
Howard: To . . .
Downer: Um . . . Coalition Crisps? Willing Wedges?
Howard: That’ll do, Downer. Ruddock – refugees?
Ruddock: Should only be about 2 to 3 million trying to get here, before long.
Howard: Err, yes, thank you, Ruddock . . .
<Some assistant to Howard>: Prime Minister! Terrorist alert in the House!
Howard: What the?

Crean: Alright, listen up – I know I missed the start of the war, but if I don’t get positive poll results NOW, I’m taking the lot of you with me!
Howard: Steady on, Crean . . .
Downer: Time for ALP Regime change . . . (laughs)
Howard: Shut up, Downer.
