"In the Matter of Hicks versus the Prime Minister

I find in favour of the Plaintiff, Citizen of Australia, Mr David Hicks. The Defendant the Prime Minister is sentenced to one day in gaol. The shame and the ignominy otherwise serve as sufficient retribution for your reckless lack of appreciation of what Citizenship of Australia means. Take the Defendent to prison."
But, but but Your Honour, can I just say farewell to darling Janette?
Very well, you have one minute.
Oh John Darling. You know who is behind this. That dreadful Rudd man. You really haven't been yourself since he got in. Voters have become so course and vulgar, they do not deserve you. Very well, let them have Rudd and they will soon come imploring you to be their Leader once again. Think Kim Jong Il, think Saddam Hussein, think Mao Tse Dung, think Yasser Arafat, think Fidel Castro. All beloved by their people. I love you my darling hunk, beloved Prime Minister of my Bed and esteemed Custodian of the Bountiful Welfare of the People of Australia. Always remember Darling, the People adore you for your economic policies. Fair Daffodil, I weep to see you haste away so soon."
