Every election parties ask us to vote for these virtual raw prawns devoid of experience, literacy and a concept of public administration or their part in it. Health, education, law and order et al are clearly out of their realm of expertise and without training or expert back-up they're clearly not fit for high-level administration. I doubt Chinalco would short-list them for site duties although it seems No Idea and ACA think one of them's worth a mention.

It certainly appears Pauline could take out first prize after Antony Green's comments and the eek ..deleted Wikipedia site. Aiden's already plastered with mud, tar and feathers and McCreadie sounds like he swallowed the Labor Learning CD with a bottle of Bundy Rum. Does pineapple politics get more hysterical than this. Antony's description of Ray Hopper up there in Condamine sounds just what we need in times of drought, flooding rains and a GFC - " a qualified butcher, licensed dogger, dairy farmer and announcer at the Bell Rodeo for 14 years". What on earth has Kevin Rudd dragged into the spotlight and how long has this been going on? Love the headline!
