^^ @ Liam,
Hard to believe that crap still goes on, particularly in a setting like a Senate Hearing. Typical example of the kind of behaviour the likes of Wong, Julie Bishop and Gillard faced over the years, and still do even today. Let me guess, in the eyes of the Wong-haters, she is being "bossy" or "hard-nosed" or "cold" or an "ice-queen." It just seems like childish bull$#!t, and then additionally the Wong-haters seem to be indulging in a little bit of blaming the victim.
I know politics is dirty, but this kind of level of school-yard behaviour is well below of the kind of mature mentality we should expect of someone we're paying a 6 figure salary to be a leader of the community. It's a Senator that's making that meowing comment, for gawd's sake!
Obviously my expectations of leaders of our communities are completely unrealistic!

Not surprised to see Brandis there trying to aggressively brush over it. Now there's someone who clearly got wedgied too much at school ... and could probably do with some more. A politician's version of Alan Jones - conveniently they even look similar! One of the most uncompassionate, unempathic, dogmatic, & conservative politicians i've ever heard/seen!

I have it on good authority that there exists a photo (from his uni days) of Brandis having been put down a storm water drain looking up through the bars. An arrogant true-believer, he wasn't well liked.

And has gone out of his way ever since to make life miserable for the rest of us.

$255K plus travel, office etc,etc

Right new life ambition, be a really useless politician one term then a pension for life.

Hang on! All of them have stolen my idea, they all useless

 

[technobabble66]

An arrogant true-believer, ...

Oh yeah - i forgot arrogant, too.

I get the impression most/all of the hardcore Abbott supporters within the LNP MPs are of that "arrogant true-believer" mould. The worst kind of person in a democracy (regardless of their political persuasions).

I should add i'm not necessarily any more impressed with the current ALP - i think the reason we have someone as bad as Abbott as a PM is largely because the ALP/opposition is so crap as well.
*Sigh* - if only the ALP or the LNP were not so pathetic!!

Brandis [...] A politician's version of Alan Jones

I do have to pick you up on this though - Brandis is intelligent.

So I've heard him say.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

haha yep, what a ********.

Good on her. My respect just went up mildly for a politician.

I'd know Tony could fly a helicopert.

I wouldn't trust him with a kite....

 

[Weizguy]

It was Cory Bernardi. The bestiality remark was made in reference to Bernardi's previous claims that same-sex marriage was the beginning of a slippery slope that could ultimately result in people marrying animals.

OK, I now see that Bernardi set the bait, by proposing the human-animal partnering, and it WAS Penny who took it to the next level by assuming that those marriages would be consummated.
Dirty Penny! Grubby, grubby...

Well no, Bernardi's direct words were “There are even some creepy people out there, who say that it's OK to have consensual sexual relations between humans and animals. Will that be a future step?”

He resigned as shadow parliamentary secretary to Tony Abbott shortly after.

It's expected when you reveal State secrets. He may even disappear to a rendition prison soon.

Also not a good move to 'out' the boss as a creepy person.

 

[tugger]

There will be a few new stories in the news tomorrow.
This is going to be a big one I have been told, a few more will be sacked.

Break out the champers and pop tarts. My vote for a total cleanout, vote in a batch of independents, and make 'em work things out for the betterment of the community, not the f**king economy.

 

[manticle]

Imagine if that were so.
Still if we believe yes minister/yes prime minister it's really humphrey who would be in charge.

 

[madpierre06]

Too late to be a truly independent country now anyways, we are really owned by the seriously BIG faceless boys hiding at the very top of the banking food chain.

Funny how there was very little reporting of the mad monk's mob handing 900M of our money as startup funding over to a 'wonderful' investment bank in the asian region controlled by the chinese.

 

[Vini2ton]

He most certainly is, with tiers of underlings banging their heads against the wall and swearing to move to a normal (?) country.
