I am definitely no Fielding fan, but all this crap about him ‘running the country’?!? He only gets one vote, just like everyone else in the Parliament. How about looking at all the sheep in the major parties - I think they deserve a good dollop of contempt, if we have to be obsessed with doling out contempt.

Nice article though, he is a rotter (just like ALL the coalition members who routinely vote in the interests of big business)!

Well said everyone, that idiot makes me so angry whenever his name is mentioned. Who the hell does he think he is? Voted in by less than 2% of the population but he is for all intents and purposes, running this country! He’s obviously gone power mad as there can be no other explanation for his stupidity.

Well said, the man is a phoney and sadly lacking in intelligence. Is a great pity he pretends to be a person with Christian values, as long as those values do not support the very people he would have us believe he stands for

Don’t forget these other two ‘Industry First’ examples:
He sided with big Pharma on the PBS bill
He changed his position on the Alcopops tax and backed the Distillers…
Nice article Jennifer, thanks.

Senator Fielding

Then an unkind person could speculate - are there any brown paper bags?

Top comments Jennifer - Fielding is pathetic. So much for ‘democracy’ when someone with negligable votes can destroy government policy - especially the huge rort of private health insurance. His populist, publicity seeking stunts show what a shallow, brainless idiot he is.
