While the pollies get all the glory, we need another frame to show us the collateral damage – the poor exhausted policy wonks in the corner

Not bad @Mike Jones for rrufff humour. I laughed leastwise. When Julia was heard to utter reference to ‘participation’ I wondered what she meant.

I gave thought to Joe Bjelke-P… Now don’t you all be worrying your pretty little heads about that. You just leave all that to someone who understands detail.

For the life of me I do not understand. None of the reporters it seemed pinned anybody down regards just what was meant by ‘Heads of Agreement’ and neither what was meant by ‘50%’.

Other than ‘Yippeey, we’re partners’…
