Transcript
Mara: Good evening. Three stories from the Desk, and the lamp has agreed to stay on for all of them.
Sam: It is late. Or early, depending on who you ask. Gerald the stool has been on the noticeboard all night and has not complained once.
Mara: No jokes near that one. We move on carefully.
Sam: ABC News reports Queensland's industrial relations review has handed down its report, with more than 100 recommendations. One of the proposed changes is a fit and proper test for union officials.
Mara: Australia Tonight had that earlier, and I am told they did it sitting down.
Sam: The pen and the teaspoon are still in the kettle cupboard.
Mara: Then the cupboard has a standing arrangement, and I will not be the one to ask it to move.
Sam: The cupboard has been in charge since Tuesday, as far as I can tell.
Sam: SBS News reports Australia has joined Canada, France and the UK in calling on the Palestinian Authority to reconsider its decision on election delays.
Mara: Four foreign ministers in agreement. Nobody in this Shed has managed that about the stool.
Sam: Gerald has not been consulted. He is a stool, and he takes that as read.
Mara: Four countries, one stool, and the chair still ours. That is the Desk. Good night, Sam. Keep the kettle warm.
