Libs off to a great start.

[Matilda]

We hear this week that Joe Hockey has raised our debt ceiling to half a trillion dollars. Not a peep from MSM or the shock jocks - imagine if Labor had done that!

Then, in the midst of one of the most severe bushfires seen in NSW, PM Abbott, who's become almost invisible since the election (expect to grovel at the feet of Prince Harry) denies that the unseasonable fires are a result of climate change and tells us that "bushfires are a way of life" in Australia. Not in October, they're not, Tony - do you think we don't know? Caused a bit of a stir on Twitter and Facebook, being the only media that will comment on good ol' Tone and his pronouncements.

But not to worry – Environment Minister Greg Hunt sprang to the PM's rescue. In an interview with the BBC – because the Australian media aren't up to the job – Hunt assured the host, Razia Iqbal, that according to Wikipaedia, Mr Abbott was quite right in what he said. Hunt was quite certain, because he looked it up himself.

Great - now the Libs are getting their background briefings from Wikipaedia. It all begins to make sense.

Wonder what they'll come up with next? Malcolm Turnbull inventing the Internet?
