I don't have a house, SOB, and Matty lives with his parents. It's an open marriage. Matty always gets what he wants.

In New Zealand, we'll share a cottage overlooking the sea. Matty wants to write - presumably about the carbon tax. Matty has always admired Mr Abbott's brief time at the Bulletin, and wants to build his profile before preselection. He wants to move to non-fiction.

Personally, I'd like to cook and just enjoy our time together. It will be a bit of a break. Our past year of politics has been so busy, not that I'd change it for the world. Building a profile, creating a political brand and running a campaign for preselection is no small task. The staffers have to be give jobs and followed up. The candidate has to be managed - every word he says has to be vetted, even the backroom deals and back scratching. You have to be on top of everything.

So I'm looking forward to a little peace and quiet before next year's election. Matty still needs to heal from the surgery, so it will give us some much needed "me" time. Believe me, as a politician, Matty spends so much time thinking about others - what do they think of his discrete makeup? Do they think his bottom bulges a little too much in slacks? Were they listening when he posted that he'll join the Greens if he doesn't get what he wants?

These concerns need to be managed on a daily basis, so I'm really looking forward to New Zealand, as is Matty. It's his first overseas trip, so we're really excited.

Woof Woof has been to China, and she's been so helpful with advice, even though it's a completely different country to New Zealand. I hope we can get the sort of food Matty likes there. I'm assuming they'll have hamburgers. It's a decent country, not like Asia.

So much to do! I must start packing. Don't worry, Matty and I will continue to post as usual.

Do you mean real earthquakes, or literary ones?

Hakka induced earthquakes.

Wouldnt it be absolutely great if all the idiots decided to leave australia because they hate gillard? Wow!

Especially if they take tony with them.

With actual rational ppl left in australia maybe we can find a way to fix this system.

SOB

Smithy, Matty is a political pragmatist. You have to be realistic about these things. In politics, this means being patient and taking baby steps.

First, we have to give ending the carbon tax a go. If we don't stop this, it will be all Labor and the Greens' fault. The same goes with stopping the boats.

But you have to admit, at least we will have given it a try.

Invading China is next on our agenda, but there are, of course, political considerations.

Matty is just a humble member of the Liberal Party. He has to obey the will of the caucus and the leader of the party. At present, Matty is behind Mr Abbott 100%. As for myself, I merely carry out Matty's orders.

If there are any threats of violence coming from you and your mob, you will find yourself subject to the full force of New Zealand law - after Matty records a you tube video outlining his last will and testament and goes on Today Tonight.

I hope Mattty realises that the conservative NZ govt supports a price on carbon.
