Aussie values in the Senate

We have a new government, a new broom that sweeps new.

But the real, wholesome achievement of Australian voters is to get Aussie values candidates in the Senate, senators who represent sport, SUVs and guns.

Not to forget the brick with eyes.

Also, as a bonus, a new court jester gets into parliament.

It reminds me of the days of the humourist politicians, Fred Daly and Jim Killen.

Fred, as a joke, nominated East Sydney's firebrand, Eddie Ward, for the English House of Lords.

Later, Eddie Ward walked into parliament and was puzzled by the calls of Lord Ward.

Even prime minister Bob Menzies was amused.
