A senior public servant has made the decision to leave some very important work until Monday, taking his phone off the hook and putting the cricket on.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison told The Advocate this afternoon via telephone that we would be his last official duty of the week.
Despite it being 2:47pm on a Friday, Mr Morrison said today was different because there is cricket on.
“Bit of a rain delay, they didn’t get going until 3pm! It will be dark down in Hobart in a few hours, I don’t even know why they even bothered giving it a go this afternoon. Anyway, I’m just getting back into my cricket. We ran a few focus groups and people want to see their Prime Minister having a keen interest in sport,” he said.
“Another focus group said it is very relatable to knock off and watch the cricket so that is what I’m doing,”
“Before you start complaining about this Novak visa business, we’re still working on it but it can wait until Monday. Fuck it. It’s the weekend. Why don’t you guys just shut the laptop and head down to the pub?”
More to come.
