Is the Treasurer at home or not?

Spectra: It is this place at 4 Rhodes Pl, Yarralumla.

The treasurer (Robert Casey) only lived there for 8 months before he was moved portfolios when Menzies came to power. It then sat empty for about 2 years, before the Canadian High Commission moved in. After that it was the headquarters of the Australian Heritage Commission during the 70s and 80s.

Emma from the Canberra Times reading RA? Very bizarrily in todays Sunday Times she mentioned about the treasurer living in the Lodge like I posted above.

The house Minchin mentioned was actually built for Richard Casey, Menzies’s Foreign Affairs Minister. After he resigned Parliament to become Governor General, I think it became an outposted office of DFAT. It was sold in the 1996 Howard pogroms.

Why not just set up a big Cirque De Solei (or however the frogs spell it) style tent next to the lake? That way they can all bunk in together (how nice) and have a big love in. Janette could say “now you boys go and sit in the refreshments stand and don’t come back till you’ve sorted out your differences!”. They could sell fairy floss, ace. Johnny could get a side gig in the freakshow, “the hairiest eyebrows in the world”, whilst Peter could perform as “the man with no spine”. Phillip Ruddock could be “the incredible walking corpse”. Audience entry fees would be a good way for us to recoup all those expensive polly salaries and related expenses. They could ride elephants about town, thus cutting down on fuel costs and greenhouse gases. George W could do a guest show as “the stupidest man on Earth”.

Yeah, then he could take a swim every morning instead of that silly little ‘power walk’.

To change toppic: I really think that the PM deserves a White House by the lake. Then make the Lodge the treasurers house.

I’d rather the mother-england apron strings to the american dog lead.

The point Costello made was that it is that way in London with the Treasurer next door to No. 10 (just can’t break free from those mother-England apron strings can we?). Realistically, it would probably be off-set by the accommodation costs – I’d imagine out of all the portfolios, that the Treasurer’s would be the one that requires the most time actually on the ground in Canberra…

Thank insert your chosen deity (HERE) that Howard (the back flipping,lying toe rag)does not live here!

I think Howard doesnt live in the lodge because he cant see over the walls which at least four times his height…
