If you consider the continuity errors in Tony Abbott's glib slogan proclaiming that Workchoices is "Dead. Buried. Cremated.", then maybe you are looking for an "Exhumed" to be inserted into that sequence - at least once, maybe more often. Abbott's serial non sequiteurs on the talk-radio circuit on Monday suggest that neo-liberal IR reform, whether named Workchoices or some other moniker, is not about to disappear from the tory agenda. Where's Freddy Krueger when you need him?

But while I continue to believe that any campaigning between now and August 21 is irrelevant, let me just add two more examples from Monday's eight-layered vanilla cake of electioneering delights.

Exhibit A: Bob Brown proudly proclaiming the support of the Adelaide Zoo pandas Funi and Wang Wang, Pulpo Paolo style, in endorsing the Greens.

And, umm, Exhibit B: A near-naked stalker harangued Abbott on the campaign trail at Knox City Shopping Centre. It transpired that it was a Victorian Labor office worker (albeit on leave and currently a volunteer campaigner, according to party apparatchchiks) trying to make a, er, point about Abbott in red Speedos. All that can be said is that he smuggles smaller budgies than the Opposition Leader.

And in late breaking election irrelevance, news hot off the Twitter that (a) Joe Hockey has name-checked The Bangles in a press conference, and (b) the Leaders Debate next Sunday night will be scheduled so as not to clash with the grand final of Masterchef.
