As always, the latest Institute of Public Affairs gala was a glorious occasion for us billionaire miners! We hobble-knobbled among corporate global giants including Texas Public Policy Foundation & Koch Brothers funded Chuck DeVore whose advice to the rapturous crowd of Aussies was, “here’s hoping that some day you too can find your Donald Trump!”

"Sweetie Precious don't mind Donald, he can't himself!"

“Sweetie Precious don’t mind Donald, he can’t help himself!”

Upon arriving, effluent A-listers were greeted with a coalabratory carbon poetry slam featuring our very own ‘Our Profits’, which was greatly (as Donald would say) inspired by Gina’s epic ‘universe’s worst poem’.

Coral Bleach reciting lines from 'Our Profits": "Billionaires are sadly groaning from Coal Investile Dysfunction This vile contagion is spreading around the globe, an epidemic out of control"

Coral Bleach reciting lines from ‘Our Profits”: “Billionaires are sadly groaning from Coal Investile Dysfunction
This vile contagion is spreading around the globe, an epidemic out of control” (see full poem below)

Before long aspiring billionaire miner police officers joined the gathering, captivated by the billionaire miners unique coalture.

"That's right officer, we're a non-hierarchical bunch of billionaire miners"

“That’s right officer, we’re a non-hierarchical bunch of billionaire miners”

We’re beyond proud to present our special coaltry (or possibly poaltry?)

Our Profits

Billionaires are sadly groaning from Coal Investile Dysfunction 

This vile contagion is spreading around the globe, an epidemic out of control

Billions in our rightful profits are threatened as our visa workers are left to ponder 

Solar panels are swamping our shores wreaking chaos, threatening our economy

Giant wind turbines are generating ferocious storms, threatening our bounty

That much a blind man could see, we must secure our booty!

But on this special night we celebrate our giant quarries, our minerals that delight 

You can see for yourself the magic we do with sacred sites!

Think of all the ancient souls liberated from eternal substrata entrapment 

So forget your Great Barrier Reef, our plans for Uluru will astound you!

Just give us your soils and souls

Relax now Aussies, know that you can trust us to do the heavy lifting 

Before it is too late!
