The Old Priest

        An old priest lay dying in Woden's, Canberra Hospital. He had
        served the people near the nation's capital, Manuka for many years.

        He motioned for the nurse to come near.

        "Yes father?" said the nurse.

        "I would really like to see Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten
        before I die" whispered the priest.

        "I will see what I can do" said the nurse.

        The nurse sent the request to parliament house and waited for a
        response. Soon an answer came back; Both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill

        Shorten would be delighted to visit the priest.

        As they were driven to the hospital in Malcolm's new BMW,
        Turnbull commented to Shorten, "I don't know why this old priest
        wants to see

        us, but it certainly will help our images and may even help our
        re-election prospects."

        Shorten agreed it was probably a good thing.

        When they arrived at the priest's room the priest took
        Turnbull's hand in his right hand and Shorten's hand in his left
        hand.

        There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

        Finally Shorten spoke "Father of all people you could have
        chosen, why did you chose us to be with you at this time when
        your end is so

        near?"

        The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my
        life and behavior after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

        "Amen" said Turnbull.

        "Amen" replied Shorten.

        The old priest continued, "Jesus Christ our saviour died between
        twolying thieving bastards, and I wanted to do the same."
