I could go on like this for days. I haven't even touched on the delightful lunacies of Michael Wooldridge, or the sophisticated punk/grunge stylings of Amanda Vanstone, the fabulous fun of Happy Alex Downer and his Two Left Feet... but Little Johnny Eyebrows doesn't have a monopoly on comedy! For example, we
mustn't forget new kid on the block (and inspiration to cross-dressers everywhere) Pauline Hanson.
Sadly, Pauline's performance doesn't have the depth and range of Johnny Eyebrows and his Dancing Dummies, but what she does, she does extraordinarily well:

Frankly, I think Big Kim is less a comedy act, and more a sort of WWF character. Sod all this "Parliamentary Debate" rubbish. People are bored with it anyway. Kimba should be wearing purple Spandex undies and boots, standing in the middle of the ring roaring outrageous insults at Johnny Eyebrows and belting Peter Costello
in the back of the head when he thinks the Whip isn't looking. That's real Prime Minister material!
