 Hang on! does that mean free travel & camping for just grey nomads only?

You may have just lost our vote Ma. We're only a little grey so do we just get free short travel & a little camp?.

Not really sure if I want to be a little camp anyway omfg.gif

Cheers

Jon

 Jon, I will send you the appropriate reimbursement for the bottle of Magic Silver White for your hair and a ticket to Oxford Street in Sydney for the march that they hold there each year.

Would you like a position in my cabinet Jon.  I thought Hylda could be the Minster for Education because she does.

And anyway as Blue said, He's not grey, he's Blue and he doesn't have grey hair he has silver.

Why, because of her great attributes.

1. She is better looking than Juliar, Krudd or Rabbit.

2. She can stick to a budget and not run it into the red.

3. Even when in a state of high aggitation, you can still understand every word and the meaning behind them.

4. She has a proven record of controlling how much money goes into poker machines, pubs and bottle shops.

5. She has the ability to compromise with one statement "Do it my way"

6. She is a great cook, so we can save money by sacking all those highly paid chefs in the lodge.

7. She has a very handsome husband.

 My Husband and I will govern jointly when I AM elected PM.

There will be free travel for all Nomads................of the grey variety of course

There will be happy hour EVERY night with free liquid of choice.

There will be hot hot showers with plenty of water pressure AND flushing loos (can you imagine Kirribilli with long drops

And last but not least and increase in pension and an increase in dividends for all self funded retiree nomads.....again of the grey variety.

Once she becomes PM, Ma will have a lot on her plate, so I will take over the allocation of free camping sites at The Lodge and Kirribilly house.

There will be no restrictions for honest grey nomads, those with grandchildren in tow may be allocated the spaces far away from the better campsites.

Ma will pass legislation that a percentage of union fees will be garnished to provide ensuite sites for those who are not blessed with an indoor bathroom in the vans.

The ministers will be responsible for their portfolio budget, if they spend more than allocated. the surplus will come out of their salary, even if this means selling their family home and taking over any trust fund that they have set up to avoid taxes/rip off the Australian taxpayer/provide for their non-existing children or pay for their hairdresser to make their hair is red/blue/brown/wavy

I don't know if I'm grey or not anymore. My important question would be, are the The Lodge and Kirribily house pet friendly?

Doesn't Kirribilli have a sloping lawn down to the harbour? If that's the case, how about throwing in a water slide for those hot summer days?

 We will install appartments for your furry friends at the rear of the house suitably decorated and with reverse cycle aircon.

Just make up a tax Ma for all non grey nomads and then rule all grey nomads get free accom in cv parks. Just don't change your mind later. You can make petrol and diesel 10c lt. Double the budget for road maint. Forget that one, just blow the budget on that one. Blue, you will be the first man.
