There's an election coming up as evidenced by the sudden increase in media activity, including this one:
A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing in front of her home. Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing "FREE KITTENS".
Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall redhead.
"Hi there little girl, I'm Prime Minister Gillard. What do you have in the basket?" she asked.
"Kittens", little Suzy said.
"How old are they?" asked Gillard.
Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet".
"And what kind of kittens are they?"
"Labor supporters", answered Suzy with a smile.
Gillard was delighted. As soon as she returned to her car, she called her PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens.
Recognizing the perfect photo-op, the two agreed that the prime minister should return the next day and, in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Suzy was again standing there with her basket of "FREE KITTENS" when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from ABC,Channel 7, SBS, Ten & Nine.
Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Gillard got out of her limo and walked over to little Suzy.
"Hello, again", she said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away".
"Yes miss", Suzy said. "They're Liberals".
Taken by surprise, the prime minister stammered, "But... but... yesterday, you told me they were Labor supporters".
Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know. But today, they have their eyes open".
