Oh good lord….Someone told her that this would be a good idea. It wasn’t.
You can’t help but feel sorry for her really. I actually felt a bit mean by the end of it for laughing.
However, why does she keep looking down at what you assume are notes? Did she actually put some thought into that ramble before hand? If so, the notes must read “Just keep talking! Say Dud policy!”
A good reminder why Pyne is seen as “Talent” by South Australian liberals. It’s hardly a Melbourne Cup field.
I don’t think I have ever been so happily shocked that voting is free. I got terrific value for money. The Fisher family must be enraptured with that performance, south australian you say. Good on those mob down south, proud of you work and representation. Liberal? Nice been a while since we had a bit of pelvic thrust action from the southern states members. Hold your head up Australia, this is democracy.. She got the point across so well. good to see we are on a road like so many in south aussie to nowhere.
Mary Jo way to go!
Whoa. That’s one of the most painful things I’ve ever watched. What a compelling argument for … not behaving like little children in parliament?
I can dream.
Who would have thought that there was a senator in the current parliament, who could make Stephen Fielding, look and sound like a mental giant.
A very sad day all around. 🙁
