Fantastic.

I can't think of two people better suited to each other.

They'll need a larger meeting room to fit both egos in the door, and they'll need to buy a bigger bar fridge.

And just like the Mark Latham debacle, I give it 12 months.

Dave: I assume these people [press gallery] would feel pangs of shame

Chris Hedges: I don't think these people feel any shame at all ...

The self-adulation is kind of off the charts, and they're not particularly introspective or self-critical

"“We particularly chose, as the South African delegation, to join the Global Sumud Flotilla here in Tunisia from an African point to say Africa is part of this struggle,” Mandla Mandela told journalists in Tunis."
Mandla Mandela, a grandson of South Africa's anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, says he’ll join the Global Sumud Flotilla seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza with an aid boat from Tunisia.

SMH today:
it was “highly implausible that this was not co-ordinated at the highest levels of the party and the Brethren”.
"Dutton did not respond to a request for comment. Both Dutton’s office during the campaign and the Brethren denied high-level co-ordination of the campaign effort."

BREAKING: Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, was just arrested under the Terrorism Act again, for a sign which said "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

Early this week she said: "Palestine Action are not a terrorist organisation. They damaged weapons used on Palestinians."

Correction to below, it’s not a ‘great episode’ it’s ‘exceptional’ & should be mandatory viewing for every Australian.
Watch even just to see how much is stolen & used unattributed by lazy, biased MSM in coming days🙄
