YAWN!!
Are we still tittering like schoolgirls behind the shelter shed about Steve the Littracee Tard?
I expect amorphous discourse of this ilk on Pure Poison.
That it features day after after day after day after… on Crikeys front page is getting nauseatingly dull.
We get it.
You’re smarter than Steve plus you can tie your own shoelaces.
Move on.
Excellent to draw the comparison to the senior Religious Senator role mode – Brian Harradine. An example in how to get what he wants and still enable a government to govern.
I didn’t know it was Stephen (many many expletives deleted) Conroy who gave us Fielding. I’ll be making sure that Conroy is second last on the next senate ballot only followed by Fielding. Even if it means numbering every square below the line. Even if it means several other fringe groups will get a higher preference but I’m not risking Fielding returning to be a Victorian senator.
It appears to become a member of the Cultural Elite = ‘Disagree with me and my religious views or ‘You are either with us or against us.’ Very christain. Not.
What’s nauseatingly dull is the Senate’s (with Feilding’s involvement) ongoing frustration of the Government. No means testing for middle class welfare, there’s a victory for families Steve
