In the coming days, the Treasurer of Australia, Joshua Frydenberg, will deliver a budget that spruiks the nation’s return to surplus.
But before the 2nd of April rolls around, balding men from all walks of political opinion are rejoicing this morning after Josh appeared on television with a shaved head for the first time.
During his tenure as the country’s money box holder, the follically-challenged Victorian
Comparisons were made to seeing a sick wombat walking around in daylight hours to a six-day old Magic Garden crystal landscape.
One the the balding men laughing and backslapping his mates in the office this morning was Brett Doolan, a Betoota Heights forensic accountant who is currently losing his hair at an almost comical rate.
He told The Advocate that when he saw Josh on the TV this morning, he threw his hands up and woo who’d.
“I bit the bullet at the start of the year,” he said.
“It takes a lot of courage to finally look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘Yep, it’s coming off today.’ and then going and doing it,”
“He looks way, way better to be honest. I hope he’s been just as clean and tidy with the budget. I’m not holding my breath, but we’ll see.”
The Advocate reached out to the Treasurer’s Office for comment but have yet to receive a reply.
More to come.
