Warning: Australian content again. Matt Preston on Masterchef is noted for his cravats.

The Australian Labor Party (government) apparatchiks set the date for the one and only "debate" between the two main contenders to coincide with the finale of Masterchef, which half of Australia should be watching. When they were laughed down, they moved the debate to the immediately preceding time slot, when we're all preparing dinner early so we can watch...the Masterchef finale..

...and yes, I can both spell and pronounce faux pas.

THE GREAT DEBATE (I CRAVE A CRAVAT)

Because it's an election, we must have a debate:
The candidates there face-to-face so's we can all relate.
It's got to be prime time TV,
The leaders up for all to see,
Gaffes and fox paws flying free..
It's what machine men hate.

But...

I crave a cravat on prime-time TV,
I crave a brulee to satisfy me.
I don't want to hear what the pollies might say,
'Cos they're chanting it at me day after day.
Behold! At the Masterchef table I kneel!
I crave a cravat with my evening meal!

V2
The apparatchiks sort it, the debate goes head to head
With the Masterchef Finale...there's no more to be said.
The leaders? They'll plod though their lists
Watched only by some journalists,
'Cos Masterchef, we just can't miss!
We'll all watch that instead!

All together...

CH2
I crave a cravat on prime-time TV,
I crave a brulee to satisfy me.
Every day, pollies can fill us with fear,
But there's only one Masterchef final a year.
Behold! At the Masterchef table I kneel!
I crave a cravat with my evening meal!
