Former Prime Minister Uncle Tony X has today admitted to having a few secret vices when it comes to mission cuisine, after revealing he’s managed to get a local Canberra cafe to add devon and chip sandwiches to the menu.
Uncle Tony says he’s well aware that he might not be setting a very good example, especially when considering the statistics that suggest majority of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population don’t have access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but the old ‘Murgon Works Burger’ is something he just can’t quit.
“Eyaa don’t skimp on the salt my deadly brother” said the Former Prime Minister.
Uncle Tony X says the devon and chip sambo is one of the few constants in his life, after a whirlwind fortnight that has seen the Member for Warringah enter the NSW prison system and convert to Islam, since he gave a conditional yes to taking on the job of the Federal Government’s Indigenous envoy.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison did not ask Mr Abbott to be a minister in his new Government, but instead asked him to take on the role of envoy, citing his close association with Aboriginal Australia after growing up in a six bedroom mansion in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and working for the Liberal Party for nearly three decades.
However, it appears that Abbott has decided to embrace the new non-cabinet pity role, and says he’s more than happy to be the go-to man for putting on a feed in Parliament, inviting fellow Indigenous MPs and senators to feel more than welcome pulling into his office whenever they need a shake of Saxa salt or some Worcestershire sauce.
