“MPs hang with their objects”

"If a mass hanging of pollies - on April Fool's Day, no less - sounds like your thing, get to State Parliament on Wednesday evening for the launch of Parliament Objects.

The exhibition shows more than a dozen state and federal MPs ...painted with an item of significance.  For NSW Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell, painted by Dee Jackson....that item is a beautiful mahogany writing slope he bought at an antiques fair about 20 years ago."
