When The Blowfly identifies something extremely funny in the universe he has this overwhelming compulsion to share it.
Some blogs ago I referred to the karma that Tony Abbott was creating by his aggressive stance and posture in the Parliament.
All those censure motions that he has staged will undoubtedly come back to haunt him.
This week Tony got a couple of serves from dear ole karma.
Firstly, it appears that his softening of the capacity to bring criminal charges against union officials and unions when Howard was trying to make Work Choices more palatable is actually a stumbling block in Abbott's attempt to crucify Craig Thomson and have him kicked out of Parliament.
Oh how sweet it is!
And then we have the phenomena of Tony's sister announcing that she is in a same-sex relationship and expressing her hopes that he will change the Coalition's position on same-sex marriages.
Oh sweet mystery of life. How can the universe contain itself?
The Blowfly wonders what will happen next to poor ole Tony.
Will George Pell announce that Tony is his love child?
Will one of Tony's daughters stand for Parliament at the next election for the Greens?
Will Tony's household be substantially better off when the carbon tax comes in?
Will Speedo stop making 'budgie-smugglers' because Germaine Greer thinks they are inappropriate?
Will the constituents of his electorate make public submissions to him to support the NBN because they don't want to be disadvantaged in a digital world?
For those of you who are keen students of karma and, for that matter, hypocrisy please do not hesitate to draw The Blowfly's attention to the many gems that abound the life of Tony Abbott.

Tony Abbott's great sense of humour!
This week The Blowfly finds himself completely at odds with Laurie Oakes and the rest of the Australian press gallery.
Tony Abbott copped a caning from the media regarding his remarks about the sunken Italian cruise liner. He wittingly brought it into the asylum seeker debate. He referred to it as ‘one boat they could not turn back.’
Laurie Oakes said that “the bloke just doesn’t get it.”
Hopefully Laurie and the media do not set the benchmark on what is appropriate , what is funny and what is not.
Blowflies often find humour in misfortune. Especially other people’s!
Tony Abbott has a wonderful sense of humour and, given the state of Australian politics, we need lashings of it regularly.
Tony has made The Blowfly laugh on many occasions.
Who could ever forget the television interview where Tony tried to explain the difference between the ‘truth’ and the ‘gospel truth’.
That was funny!
And then there was the interview with Kerry O’Brien where he tried to explain the details of his telecommunications policy.
That was hilarious!
But there is more!
“What housewives need to understand while they’re doing the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price, and their own power bills are going to go up every year when they switch the iron off.”
"I think there does need to be give and take on both sides, and this idea that sex is kind of a woman’s right to absolutely withhold, just as the idea that sex is a man’s right to demand I think they both need to be moderated, so to speak.”
Are you laughing yet?
“I am giving you the most definite commitment any politician can give that this tax will go. This is a pledge in blood this tax will go.”
“The only thing I wouldn’t do is sell my arse---but I’d have to give serious thought to it.”
To Malcolm Turnbull on climate change: “I know I’m a bit of a weather vane on this.”
Surely you are laughing now!
“….Jesus didn’t say yes to everyone. I mean Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it is not necessarily everyone’s place to come to Australia.”
“….we just can’t stop people from being homeless if that’s their choice….”
On whether a national celibacy campaign would help counter the rise in teen sexual activity, sexual infections and pregnancies: “I think that it’s very important that we empower people to reject this kind of rampant sensuality.”
Now for the one that brings tears to your eyes.
“I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons.”
I think we should leave the final word to the illustrious humorist George W Bush: "See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
The Blowfly could not have said it better.
