One sunny morning Queensland Premier Anna Bligh was driving through a farming district in her chauffeured car.
As they came around a bend in the road an old cow standing on the road could not get out of the way quick enough and they hit the poor animal that was sent flying.
Anna was not pleased and told the driver to get out and check on the cow.
The driver returned and said she's dead....
Anna said well you were driving so it's all your fault so you go and tell the farmer!
The driver trotted off on his way to the farmhouse on top of the hill while Anna stayed in the car and jotted down some ideas in her car on how to scrap a few more things like solar power subsidy to save some money.
At some point she realized that the driver had gone for considerable time and she became very impatient.
Finally, as it was getting dark the driver came staggering down the road, reached the car and fell in his seat and the smell of alcohol filled the car. WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME!!!? Anna demanded to know.
The driver replied;well, first it was a long hard slog up the hill to the farmhouse so I was a bit out of breath when I got there.
I said to the farmer; Hello, I'm Anna Bligh's driver. We just had a little accident and I killed the old cow.....
And then he just wouldn't let me go, he pulled out his best bottles of whiskey, he started filling glasses, his wife cooked me a fantastic meal and his daughter shagged me senseless!!!!
