THIS looks like a "bit of fun"
Feb 27^th, 2012 at 2:03pm

KITCHEN CABINET

CLOSET

starring ...

Shadow Minister and Manager of Opposition Business Christopher Pyne teams up with his political mentor and great friend Amanda Vanstone to discuss his start in politics. Alarmingly, this occurred at age seven, apparently after swimming in Amanda’s pool. Later, Christopher worked for Amanda, then won a South Australian seat in a memorably bloody encounter. Over lunch, Christopher talks about his early hostile relationship with John Howard, his unlikely friendship with Bronwyn Bishop, and his sense of inferiority to Jackie Kelly. He talks to Annabel about his days on the backbench, his political rivalries, and his friendship with Vanstone. Amanda Vanstone entertains with stories of her time as one of the most recognised Ministers in the Howard Government, when students burnt effigies of her as she set about implementing some of the most extreme cuts to higher education Australia has witnessed. She also tells the real story of the day John Howard sacked her.

Christopher Pyne is one of the legendary dinner companions in the Liberal Party. The problem is, Pyne can't cook.

Actually the missus and I have had a coffee a few times with the Vanstones at Adelaides Central Market on the occaisonal Saturday while out shopping.
Just the usual junk conversations about the footy etc but Amanda and her hubby Tony are the nicest people.
As for Chris Pyne although these days he is as irritating as a twisted testicle he seems like he might also be a decent fella for a conversation away from his job as an attack toy poodle.

You'd need a couple of dolls, a bunch of coloured blocks, a lot of butchers paper and a box crayons.

Then very slowly role play it with the dolls, draw it with the crayons and throw the blocks when you get you frustrated with the looks of incomprehension.

Someone accused Longy of plagiarism. Cods has promised to keep an eye out, but she has no idea what she's looking for. What's the bet she's using The Google to try and figure it out right now.

Pyne has 'no friends on other side'

Feb 2, 2012

Federal Coalition frontbencher Christopher Pyne says he doesn't have any friends on the other side of politics.

Mr Pyne's candid confession came during a meal with Howard-era colleague Amanda Vanstone and journalist Annabel Crabb in the latter's new ABC cooking show, Kitchen Cabinet.

A preview of the show, released on the TV Tonight blog on Thursday, shows Mr Pyne cooking steak.

Ms Vanstone - a former ambassador to Italy - turns it into tagliato, or cut steak on fettuccine.

Mr Pyne also said politics was a zero sum game with no second prize.

Asked if he had friends on the other side of the chamber he said: "
No, not really
- I mean I like some of them, I like some people," he said.

"But it's very hard to be friends with people who want to have the same thing that you want.

It's hard to be friends with people who are trying to make sure you lose your seat," the South Australian MP and manager of opposition business said.
