Howard Pep for Queensland LNP

The Brisbane Times tells us Howard popped in to give the the Queensland Conservatives a bit of refresher on what one would normally expect from a Liberal-National coalition. It seems like summoning Menzies to me, but upon further inspection it may be said that Howard may have actually, without a doubt, gone mad.

Recommending that the LNP 'dance with the one that brought you' and that they couldn't 'fatten a pig on market day', one could be excused for thinking that Howard has relapsed into Ye Olde Booke of Idiomes (that, or Krudd's subliminal children's literature).

In what could be described as the Australian state most akin to 'Opposite Land', the LNP has been described as possibly more socialist that the actual ALP. It has even been reported that the QLD Conservatives have even opened up some form of political dialogue with the Greens. Given this, and the QLD LNP's empirical inability to comprehend what the actual hell an election is, it's understandable that Howard should have the cobwebs dusted off him and sent into Queensland to give its state branch of his dear, dear party a bit of what-for.

I'd say Menzies would be proud.
