Too right. We have made it so easy to get from the cafes in Prahran to the cafes in Brunswick. From the clubs in St Kilda to the pub in South Yarra. Public transport is perfect.
Rowville? Frankston? Let me look at a map. Hmmm ... they're surely V-Line aren't they? Don't have trams out there you say? Well pack me a picnic lunch and a thermus and I'll wander out past Stud Rd and have a look.

Thanks very much. I have just been woken by the noise of scores of the good folk of Frankston banging open their windows and screaming, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Now there is a good idea.
The Peoples Republic of Frankston.
We could make the Cultural Centre our Parliament and the Sundowner our Parliamentry dining room.
The Peninsula Centre could be our Public Services Offices because it looks like a public servic building.
Prime Minister I will introduce into house in the Autumn session a Bill to declare Frankston a Free State.

The Deputy Prime Minister (MightyFighting) begins to stack the Frankston branch with non-Murray supporters.Murray said:
carlyp said:Very well Mr Speaker
I move a motion to abolish this particular standing order on the grounds that this goes agains the grain of Government accountability Mr Speaker. We owe more to the Australian people and they deserve more Mr Speaker.
Who is with me?
Very well standing orders are ammended
In the great tradition of the speakers chair, I have worked my 100 hours this year and hand over to a deputy speaker
As the house knows I am visiting Singapore to find out how their speaker remains so Independent. As the house also knows the Govt 737 only goes 1 way arround the world and can not turn back I am visiting France US and Canada. In France I will discuss with Pres Chirac about 3rd world povety and Frances Agricultural Agenda. In the US Private Public Partnerships with ******** CHeney. Excellence in Public Administration with Kofi ANan. Sexual politics in the workplace with Bill Clinton. Lastly Friendly Federal State relations with the leaders of Qubec and Ontario. This will take 8 weeks, cost a million dollars and I am only taking 4 sets of skis. As the house well knows this is money well spent and will add to the proffessionalism of the house.
*Cabinet re-shuffle*
- Murray is sent to the backbenches for seditious conduct.
- Weaver is rehabilitated to become Attorney-General.
- DaveW is reluctantly promoted to Education.
- Kirky enters the Cabinet as Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Ageing.

My apologies to the people of Frankston. A couple of the Libs filled me in. I now know that Frankston is a quaint little petrol station on the way to Portsea. A good place to buy a paddle pop for the kids and some milk and bread before making for the holiday home.

ARTS COALITION OBJECTS TO SEDITION ACCUSATION
At an extraordinary general meeting held in Frankston on November 9, I joined writers, artists, filmmakers, publishers, composers and their organisations in unanimous opposition to the sedition accusation that led to the dismissal from his portfolio of one of Frankston's finest citizens, Murray.
The group is concerned that the sedition decision will unreasonably erode freedom of speech and artistic expression, which have long been essential to the Australian way of life.
The group is convinced that it is unnecessary to add this charge to the others that were quietly disappearing during his time as Attorney General and calls urgently for the sedition accusations to be reversed for the following key reasons.
- Unnecessary - the law prohibits inciting crimes, membership and funding of sedition and racial vilification in Australia. Frankston is not mentioned.
- Dangerous - by their nature, your actions are political and akin to those used against Gandhi, Mandela, and the supporters of the Eureka Stockade.
- Too broad – a person or an organisation charged with sedition without, as the law requires, having urged force or violence is up Kananook Creek without a paddle. Our Murray is a lover, not a fighter.
- Unfair - the sedition charge reverses the onus of proof. The accused is assumed to be guilty and will need to prove his innocence. It will be almost impossible for him to do this taking in to account your unforgiving attitude.
We invite you to our next public meeting at the Oxymoron Theatre. As you know, it changed its name once from Frankston Cultural Centre. Unless you deal with your attitude problem, it will change again to The Parliament of the People's Republic of Frankston. And we wouldn't want that would we. Neeeeerrrr!

Prime Minister CharlieG responded today to attacks by the newly-formed 'Arts' Coalition, after he made the courageous decision to dismiss political ally Murray from his Cabinet.
"My guarantee is my record", he said. "We're the good guys. Trust me."
Mr G assured voters that new Attorney-General Weaver would be introducing a Bill of Rights that would preserve civil liberties. The legislation is expected to be introduced later this week.
The Prime Minister also said assured both his fellow Loony Left MPs and the public that Murray's career as a Cabinet Minister had merely stalled, rather than descended into oblivion.
"I resurrected Mr Q's career, even though I didn't know he was still in Parliament. Never say never, unless you're talking about DaveW becoming Deputy Leader", the Prime Minister said.

AAP news-
Deputy Leader of the Opposition and The Honourable member for Wentworth, CarlyP, joins the Prime Minister in attacking the newly formed Arts coalition.
However, she would question the entire Governments commitement to the Australian people. 'Be aware Australia, this Government is not about leading and governing Australia, but simply playing politics with every issue that comes along.'
'Do you really want a government that plays the man rather than the ball Australia? I think not,' Carlyp asked a crowd of onlookers outside Sydneys Opera house today.

Prime Minister CharlieG responded angrily to Opposition claims that he had attacked the new Arts Coalition.
"I have nothing against them. I support their work to put the 'Culture' in Society, Culture and Politics", he said on the steps of Parliament.
"It's merely unfortunate that the reactionary Conservatives can not seethe contribution made to our cultural life by this dynamic community group, and sees fit to engage in ill-informed populist rhetoric", the Prime Minister declared sadly.
"In a gesture of goodwill and bipartisan leadership, the Loony Left and the Bogan Party proudly announce that Frankston will host the first ever Dero Peninsula Music Festival. Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil will be the headline acts, and are expected to please local fans."
