Do you remember Mr Sheen? The smug, portly little man who used to flit about your TV screen cleaning-up the mess left by bad housekeepers.
Well now we have another smug little man flitting about every where, but this time he is purportedly cleaning up the mess he created himself.

First stop Indonesia, where our stopgap PM will be attempting to put some gloss on the boat chaos he created. What was in that big suitcase he took with him?
Of course nothing he is prepared to do will stem the invasion he started, but he will flit about our screens and make it appear he will have it all fixed. Don't worry, she'll be jake . . .zip!

The Qld coroner has brought his pink batts chaos back to haunt him. The coroner laid it on the line: "Undoubtedly, a major contributor to the failure to put in place adequate safeguards was the speed with which the program was conceived, designed and implemented."
Not a problem for Mr Fix-it. A maudlin, lugubrious and mock-sincere apology for the deaths will see it sorted.
We may yet see him down on bended knees to the parents. . .zip!

He has supposedly intervened in the NSW Labor corruption saga, using the majesty of his person to correct in a flash a situation that has been decades in the making.
The thing is Morris Iemma tried to enlist his help years ago to break the power of the union stranglehold on NSW Labor, but Rudd wouldn't even take his phone calls.
Not a problem. Sprinkle a bit of fairy dust as he flits and it will appear to have been all sorted. Of course the union-installed creature Robertson continues to reign as leader . . .zip!

In the weeks ahead, we will see no end of cleaning-up by this latter day Mr Sheen. It will however all be on the surface because he is the quintessence of superficiality.
IT AIN'T FIXED, MR FIX-IT!

. . . . .zip!

Listening to his babble direct from Indonesia, I cannot help but be amused at the level of gullibility he assumes the Australian and Indonesian people have. A diplomat he most assuredly is not, an obsequious, double-talking little weasel he definitely is!

Looks more like Kevvy

I suppose like Mr Sheen appeared to do, he will brighten up the day for a lot of brain-dead people.
And after all, that's all that matters really isn't it.

Here's another job for Mr Fix-it . . .. .

NT Labor stands by Gillard 'captain's pick' plan

Staff reporters

Updated 4 hours 32 minutes ago

Top End Labor party officials say they will not seek to change former prime minister Julia Gillard's "captain's pick" of Olympian Nova Peris at the top of the ALP's Senate ticket for the looming federal election.

Ms Gillard revealed that she had persuaded Ms Peris to join the Labor party in January this year, offering her a fast track to a political career.

She replaced veteran Senator Trish Crossin as the number one pick on the ALP's Territory Senate ticket.

The move was attacked by some party members in the Territory, who said Ms Gillard had trampled over local interests in the selection of a candidate.

After the announcement, Senator Crossin, the first Territory woman to be elected to the federal parliament, announced she would step down from politics after 15 years in the Senate.

In a valedictory speech last month, she slammed the preselection process of Ms Peris.

"Just because one person says it must be so doesn't make it right or democratic," she said.

Fellow Labor Senators Kim Carr and Doug Cameron said they believed that Senator Crossin had been treated unjustly by Ms Gillard.

Following Kevin Rudd's return as Prime Minister after Ms Gillard was rolled in a party room vote, Territory Labor circles began talking about the possibility of reinstating Senator Crossin at the top of the party ticket.

But Territory ALP president Mathew Gardiner says the party will not be seeking a change to the list of candidates for the federal election.

He says the ultimate decision on candidates is made by the national executive, and he is not aware of any planned changes following Mr Rudd's return from the wilderness.

"Look, one of the things that happened after the leadership change was making sure we were being sorted out," he said.

"One of the things we wanted to find out from national executive was, would there be a change of heart?

"As far as we are aware, there is no change of heart."

The Territory branch of the ALP does not have a place on the party's national executive.

Mr Gardiner says he would like to see the rules changed so the national executive can't easily overrule a local executive in the choice of candidates.

He says he will raise the issue at the next ALP national conference.

"Having an intervention in the candidates is a very rare occurrence, but it's not unknown," he said.

"[We will] try to get the national rules changed so it can't be brought in at the first instance, but as a last option."

It seems at Least $60m has been spent (I suspect more, unaccounted for) in the first grand tour of our Imperial Mr Fix-it.
What has been gained for it in terms of ending boat chaos?
