  2. Thanks, Amanda*. Given that John Howard is now saying he is a dead duck with no rabbits (PM warns Coalition of electoral annihilation) I feel question 13 coming on.

    13. The PM is

    A) lying again: he can’t help himself
    B) showing off his latest rabbit which is an appeal to underdog sympathy also designed to frighten us off voting Labor
    C) being amazingly honest
