In a completely unsurprising development the ABC website is, as usual, framing the news as one would expect of ALP stooges:

Look, everyone knows that the PM has a temper, particularly regarding those who don't show him sufficient deference, but this is well beyond the brown tongue stage. It is now clear that we will see a stinking brown head if the ABC can bring itself to remove its noggin from the PM's rectum.

Update: The proposal has now been dropped following vigorous public antipathy.
