Shit, I'll replace him. I'm not perfect but I wouldn't do that, well not in front of colleagues in Parliament. I'm not even a Liberal but I'd make a better premier than Butsmell.

Re: Seat-sniffing leader breaks down
I always though NOTHING could gross me out after bringing up two lads, but this story has done just that.
I saw the idiot on TV last night - almost crying etc etc.
Just couldn't look - it was just too.....well, I can't find the words.

...too much like watching a moronic, sexist prick whine and try to get round everyone about his disgusting, mysogonistic behaviour when really, there's no excuse and he should get everything that's coming to him?

Even Migrants that haven't been here for quiet a while dont realise the depths that some Australian Politicians will sink too. Heres the last Female premier of Victoria.... ever probably Opps and one of her ministers on guitar
I may have a few of these

Well, we lived through the (National party) Joh State Govt here in Queensland! By the time it was over we had a Royal Commission, tales of paper bags full of money handed over to the premier, the Police commissioner jailed for years and years, fixed criminal trials......During that era there were laws against assembly, even peaceful assembly, and a priest plus two old ladies once got arrested for illegal assembly while singing a song of protest. The unions were demonised: ask any union member who lived and protested through those times, and he'll show you the scars on his head from police batons.
Back then, the pollies really did plumb the depths - though I'm not sure about any sniffing scandals: every other sort of scandal, yes, but perhaps in Queensland even the lowest of the low didn't do that. Well, seeing that Playboy Magazine and others like it were banned or censored here, perhaps no one thought of sexual deviance - they were too busy with every other kind of yukkiness.

Yes I was looking for some Sir Joh clips.... feeding the chooks, was the one I had in mind, which is how he used to refer to press conferences.
Oh well another Queenslander instead.... the breed some right ones up there eh

Well with the state of the Liberal party in WA, a sniff of a seat in parliament is the only hope they've got.
