The twittering classes have been at it , this time signing off on a tweet posted to the ABC program
Q & A with what has been labelled a "lewd" twitter.

A bit nervy all round with governments assuring one and all that this is merely an overdue correction.  Hope this appeals to the highly illogical markets..they're all a bit mad, even at the best of times.!

It won't go away..will it? The P.M. insists that all is well and there's nothing to worry about.Well he would,  wouldn't he? In the meantime, Mal's purring like a Rolls Royce running on aviation fuel as he softly denies any intended or even unintended treachery.
