The REAL reason Bob Katter would not support the ALP:
one of his 20 points of policy clarification was to secure a promise from Gillard she would never again darken the doorstep of the House of Reps in that purple jacket. She refused to give a guarantee as she staunchly supports the policy that purple enhances red hair. The rest is history, folks.
I think First Dog originally (and accurately) referred to this garment as her circus jacket.

Zut: Let us not forget the David Jones wrapping-paper jacket. The mad Katter would never shop at DJs.
Btw I think we should rename the “faceless men” – they could be called “Snerks” (sort of sneaky jerks)… whadayathink?

Andrew,
I already have a descriptive name for those ALP bunglers but the goodly moderator/doorman at the Dogonaut Lounge would never permit it to be as much as whispered. Guy Rundle recently referred to Bitar, Feeney and Shorten as The Three Stooges due to a remarkable physical likeness.

Penis. Acrylic flag. Candle. Bad combination.
I note Elfy also favours purple.
Zut Alors, you are right as usual. Purple can work on a ranga. Pink is risky but can be good: navy and powder blues – too Liberal.
