Today in “sentences I’m getting increasingly used to writing”, last night’s episode of The Roast on the ABC aired a cartoon sketch featuring Tony Abbott as a kid catching his mum in the act of having sex with a solar panel. In the skit, little Tone started life as a tree-loving hippy kid until he walked in on his mum and a solar panel-father figure pastiche doin’ the dirty, and that’s why he’s trying so hard to get rid of the Renewable Energy Target.

It sure is…something.

I like how the solar panel has a little glass of scotch.

This is probably going to get the same kind of reaction the Chaser’s skit on Chris Kenny having sex with a dog did; namely, that the ABC is using public money to run a smear campaign against its enemies, blah blah blah. Tony Abbott probably won’t sue the ABC, but he won’t need to; the outraged “think”pieces in The Australian and the Herald-Sun are probably already on their way.
