contracorrientes Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Treasurer Joe Hockey and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann pictured smoking cigars ahead of tough budgetThat's austerity!
westg Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Ha good for them....at least they have something going for them...looks like Hockey is continuing to lay off the Pizza and beer diet so get ready to be stung 12.5 this December for that as well boys
Julz Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Good on them. There's an old saying along the lines of Many problems are solved over a cigar. Big Joe's penchant for stogies is no new revelation and in fact many other MP's from the govt and other parties are cigar smokers (Just look at my avatar for proof ).
contracorrientes Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 Then quick, someone ask him about plain packaging!
sengjc Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Big Joe's alright in my book. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
ned Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 i bet they are the kind of guys who stub out their cigars (no proof just assumption on my part)

TheBaron Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 How does this even make the news? So two pollies are enjoying a cigar. More of it.
contracorrientes Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 How does this even make the news? So two pollies are enjoying a cigar. More of it. I'm glad it did! Anything that normalises cigar enjoyment is good exposure, I think! 1
TheBaron Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 I'm glad it did! Anything that normalises cigar enjoyment is good exposure, I think! From what I can tell, it hasn't legitimised cigar enjoyment at all. It's only reinforced the old 'fat cat' with the cigar perception. Media had a field day with it. Truth is, as a CC lover I now have more respect (not that hard) for Hockey and Cormann seeing they actually enjoy something real. According to reports, most out there take the complete opposite view. Naughty, naughty tobacco enthusiasts...
kingy Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 What a shock.. Two human beings with a different opinion to 50% of us enjoying a cigar. They will be a having a quiet glass of wine next or playing with their kids in the park!
