Don's Party Page #2

left-of-centre!

Should've worn my casual gear.

Where's Don going?

I don't know.

Did he get you a drink?

No!

Did Don get you a drink?

No... I don't think he did.

Don... will you pour your guests a drink?!

He's not here!

Well, where is he?

He's in there.

- It's alright, I'll pour them.

- Thanks, Simon.

Steve and Dawn down last time?

No, I don't think they could make it.

I think Dawn had something else on.

Oh, that's right, yeah...

It was just as well in a way,

because it rained all afternoon.

Oh, what a pity.

Well it was alright, because I put the barbecue

under canvas, just in case.

When it got cold, the guests just came inside.

Don would never think

of taking precautions like that...

He'd just look up at the rain and say...

"Well, that buggers that, doesn't it!"

Vermouth and dry, Jody?

Please!

Are you having trouble?

The dry?...

I TOLD Don to get dry.

- Don!

- What?

Did you get that dry ginger?

Oh, f***!

I knew I forgot something.

It doesn't matter...

gin 'll be fine!

I wish Don 'd take lessons from YOU!

I regard the difference between those

two figures as very significant...

...because the Australia Party preferences

are recommended for Labor...

Well DLP preferences are recommended

for the government.

And whilst we don't know exactly

where those figures are coming from...

They are looking good...

What is THAT in aid of?

Just thought I'd embarrass everybody.

Take it off.

He just did it so I wouldn't feel

so overdressed.

Take it off!

Jesus, you're a humourless b*tch!

Come in!

Must 've come to the wrong address!

If you're gonna look like a butler,

behave like one!

- Of course, m'lady!

- What's all this?!

F***in' penguin!

Bit of a joke!

- How're things?

- Better after tonight...

- D' you think we're gonna win?

- Win?!

You think so?

Listen, I had a few beers with Whitlam's

press secretary last Thursday...

He reckons they took a private poll

which gave Labor 52 percent.

Yeah, some of the big boys

are shittin' themselves.

- Hello Kath.

- Hello Mal.

- Have a look at that! No crap!

- Beautiful!

- Hello Jenny.

- Hello Kath.

Oh, sorry...

Mal and Jenny... this is Simon and Jody.

Yes, there'll be a new government by midnight...

make no mistake about that.

You got a beer?

- Vermouth and dry.

- Sorry, there's no dry.

I'll get you a gin.

I love your dress!

Jody, isn't it?

- That's right!

- Terrible with names.

I wish I'd worn something more casual.

No, it's fine.

Type of thing I'd like to wear...

if we could afford it!

...for the Liberal Party

by the Minister for the Navy, Dr Mackay.

They're early figures, but they do tend

to look good for the Labor party.
