Fake Australian politicians on Twitter

I use Twitter on a daily basis, and one of the more entertaining aspects are the fake aussie politicians on there. Here are the ones I’ve found so far in no particular order:

1. Tony Abbott (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/TonyAbbottMP – early days but humour a little too obvious.

2. Peter Costello (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/PeterCostelllo – not that funny IMO

3. Stephen Conroy (Federal MP – ALP) – http://twitter.com/stephenconroy – arguably the most popular and one of the funniest. The shine has been lost since his outing.

4. Greg Hunt (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/greghunt – early days again but has promise.

5. Penny Wong (Federal MP – ALP) – http://twitter.com/Penny_Wong – more prolific than some, and my money’s on her being a staffer.

6. Nathan Rees (Premier of NSW – ALP) – http://twitter.com/fakenathanrees – new but prolific as well, not sure on humour yet.

7. Sophie Mirabella (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/SophieMirabella – one of my favourites and money’s on a staffer or journo writing this one.

8. Anna Bligh – (Premier of Qld – ALP) – http://twitter.com/premierofqld – average IMO.

9. Wilson Tuckey – (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/WilsonTuckey – quality redneckisms.

10. Kevin Rudd (Australian Prime Minister – ALP) – http://twitter.com/KevinFuckinRudd – there’s actually a bunch of Rudds but for me this is the best (and definitely better than the real one on Twitter).

11. David Campbell (NSW MP – ALP) – http://twitter.com/CampbellDavid – nothing to write home about (there’s also a second version here).

12. Fred Nile (NSW MP – CDP) – http://twitter.com/FredNile – funny at times.

13. Steve Fielding (Federal MP – Family First) – http://twitter.com/SenatorFielding – regularly humourous.

14. Pauline Hanson (ex-MP) - http://twitter.com/HansonPauline – entertaining throughout recent Qld state election campaign but little activity since.

15. Robert Menzies (ex-Prime Minister – Libs) – http://twitter.com/robertmenzies – one tweet only to date.

16. Bill Heffernan (Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/billheffernan – great promise, but five tweets only, the last more than a week ago. C’mon Bill.

17. Alexander Downer (ex-Federal MP – Libs) – http://twitter.com/alexanderdowner – too early to tell.

Are there any others I’ve missed? Let me know in the comments and I’ll add to the list.
