South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has been put on notice by the state’s Liberal Party leader whose name…err…well he definitely has a name. Larry someone? Anyway, he’s been slammed for wearing a Peter Combe t-shirt or some shit.

With the state election looming large, the mostly-forgotten Liberal Party (remember them from selling ETSA?) is clutching at straws and also for any relevance. Taking a leaf out of the Federal Opposition Leader’s playbook, the SA Liberal Party has taken aim at Peter Malinauskas for wearing a mostly innocuous, several decades-old t-shirt from an artist that most people agree was pretty good.

“I simply don’t understand it,” South Australian Liberal Party Secretary for Polling, Planning and Pangallo Gretel Dimelza-Toboggan told Adelaide Mail.

“I’ve listened to the song, he’s talking about a newspaper to his mother? Why is this man explaining the concept of a now-archaic medium to his mother, someone much older than him?

“And the song doesn’t even make sense. Black, white and red all over? There’s no red on a newspaper, and if there is red it’s one of many colours on a newspaper. The song should really be ‘What’s black and what’s white and red and green and blue and purple and yellow and pink all over’. That’s the type of song the Premier should be wearing a t-shirt of.”
