    Ironic that a person with a name that could be a mistaken for a disease of the colon is such an arse. I bet the minister for rainbows and unicorns put both his hands up to do the prostate checks.

    “The ‘learning’ here is that the Coalition and ‘Business’ cling to the view that sick leave is an inconvenience and a negotiable privilege rather than a right. And the advice of medical professionals can be ignored when it suits.” Classic, FD, bloody classic.

    DrMick. I usually just put one finger up when I’m checking prostates. The MfR&U must have to check the whole Warren (…for Rabbotts?).
