When Tony Abbott met with Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, he asked her . . . "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?" "Well," said the Queen, "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Tony Abbott frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know if the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen took a sip of champagne. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?" Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, your Majesty?" The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please Mr Blair. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered "That would be me." "Yes! Very good." said the Queen. Tony Abbott went back home to ask Ponzi Joe Hockey the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure," said Ponzi Joe. "Let me get back to you on that one." He went to his advisors and asked everyone, but none could give him an answer. Frustrated, Ponzi Joe went to the Parliamentary cafe and saw Bob Katter there. Ponzi Joe went up to him and asked, "Hey Bob, see if you can answer this question." "Shoot Joe." "Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Bob Katter answered, "That's easy, it's me!" Ponzi Joe smiled, and said, "Good answer Bob!" Ponzi Joe then, went back to speak with Tony Abbott . "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Bob Katter!" Tony Abbott got up, stomped over to Ponzi Joe, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!" . . . AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON IN CANBERRA!
