A little while back in Oz we had a senator Coulson who was accused of rorting the public purse by over-use of perks such a phone, cars etc... Yes, I know, they're still at it, but the gag that sprang to mind was a news report of a major motor accident outside parliament house in canberra, when seven commonwealth cars collided. Serious injury to a number of the passengers was only avoided because they were all Senator Coulson..........
