My Dog Died, Now Give Me a Bone

Adam Bandt's fund-raising appeal

Adam Bandt’s dog died at the weekend, so he needs you to donate money to the Greens.

I’ll let him explain …

I love the “change history” button. Have the Greens developed a Time Machine?

(And no, re-writing history does not count! But thanks for asking)

The death of Max, while sad, at least distracted the Greens leader from stirring up Pro-Palestinian supporters for a bit.

While thinking about the death of his children’s much loved pet, the Greens leader suddenly saw the situation for what it was … a fundraising opportunity!

My dog died. If you send money we’ll run a campaign to win seats in parliament so that your dog won’t die. Or something. Trust us, it’s connected, okay.

The email linked to a donation page, where dog lovers could choose to donate between $25 and $250.

Personally, I’d rather donate to the dog’s funeral than to the Greens’ election campaign.

The email contained no explanation about how the dog died.

I’m guessing poor old Max died from embarrassment.

Then again, he might have died from being fed lentils and soy.

I’m betting Adam Bandt will blame the dog’s death on climate change.

Or Israel.

Incidentally, can the Greens be put down?
