AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'After losing his passport and his memory, John Howard finds himself on a boat to Norway as part of a 'refugees for nuclear waste' exchange scheme, devised by his own government and outsourced agencies. A series of mishaps leads to him being thrown overboard and marooned on a desert island with an irate Tony Abbott, who has been using his thinking time to devise a new dastardly portfolio for himself called the 'Department of Industrial Convalescence'. After being rescued from the island, both men wind up in the Baxter Detention Centre and must face the consequences of their past actions. It all winds up in an all-in rap battle and the appearance of Amanda Vanstone to sort things out. http://www.theprogram.net.au/giveawaysSub.asp?id=558&state_id= (Sighted 02/11/2005).
