The Four Dog Defence

[burglar]

"Four Dog Defence". Here's how one lawyer explained it to the St. Petersburg Times in 1997:

"
1. First of all, I don't have a dog.
2. And if I had a dog, it doesn't bite.
3. And if I had a dog and it did bite, then it didn't bite you.
4. And if I had a dog and it did bite, and it bit you, then you provoked the dog."

Sounds like Federal ALP Minority government mantra against Tony Abbott and other honest politicians who expose their skullduggery.

... Tony Abbott and other honest politicians ...

Do you mean a core honesty, or non core honesty?

Someone seems to have forgotten the fifth dog!

5. And if I had a dog, and it did bite, and it did bite you, and you hadn't provoked the dog, my dog's now got parvovirus and distemper and it's all your fault for not taking yourself to the vet for your regular immunisations, so now I'm suing your ass!
