Avaunt thee Satan!

Sharpen those wooden stakes, load the guns with silver bullets, string garlic into necklaces, scatter witch hazel needles on doorsteps and window sills - has anyone seen where Pa hid the cross and holy water?
All precautions against demons must be taken because it has been suggested that Frank Sartor may challenge Nathan Rees for the premiership of New South Wales.

Ignominiously kicked out of his portfolio and relegated to the backbench, Sartor was expected to retire into the bosom of his family.
Indeed he tearfully told us as much.
Silently rejoicing, wiser heads in the Department of Planning were scrapping his plans to bypass local government and communities when it came to the average development application.

However, Sartor decided to stay in the game and in the rumoured move to oust Premier Rees and his unpopular mini budget, it has been suggested that Crankie Frankie (the darling of the development lobby) should lead the state.
Have the good ol' boys in Sussex Street gone completely mad?
