The Opposition’s shadow Treasurer (yep, he’s the best they could manage), Angus Taylor, has moved to assure the Nation that he’ll make a great Treasurer, as he has all his fingers and toes to count with.

”Australian’s need to rest assured that when I become Treasurer, under Prime Minister Dutton that the Nation’s coffers are in safe hands,” said the member for Hume. ”With all my fingers and toes I can now count up to 20, 21 if I use my nose.”

”Can Jim Chalmers match that?”

When reached for comment on the performance of his shadow Treasurer, the Dark Lord Peter Dutton said: ”Angus is doing a fine job and would be the first person I called upon if I needed someone to count up to 20.”

”The media needs to start getting behind not only Angus but some of my other shadow Ministers.”

”For too long my Ministers and I have been ignored and it’s just not right. In some lucky countries a military coup could be held, what I wouldn’t give for that to happen here.”

”Now, if you’ll excuse me, I just a call that Angus got his hand stuck in a jar, again.”
