A week or three ago I defended a Labor MP who failed miserably when interviewed by a TV reporter.
As I said, it could happen to anyone I guess.
Well, it was the Libs' turn today with this new MP totally stumped for words. :lol: Poor bugger.

Let's see if Labor make an attack ad out of this like the Libs did with the Labor member's slip up. I somehow doubt they will.

What attack did Liberal make out of it?  :undecided:
It was just reported and posted on YouTube the same as this one has been.

Take this test and find out. Interesting: http://www.abc.net.au/votecompass/

Turns out I lean more to the right than I thought.

I was listening to a segment about this on the radio today and the consensus was that most people came out of it voting for Labor, regardless of what their actual views were, although I haven't tried it personally.
It was put out by the ABC though.  :whistler:

It was great to see Joe Hokey coming out again tonight in support of Treasury . :rolleyes:
And by the way, it's not ABC bias, it's what Joe Hokey said.

1. I'm sure you're going to tell me.
2. But that's the point. They are shadow treasurers, not in government. Labor has been in government, Rusty.
3. How many Prime Ministers have we had in the last six years, all under Labor?  :undecided:

Woe is us if Hockey get s the keys that's all I can say. What a fiscally illiterate goose. I think Leigh let him off lightly to be honest.

In a previous life?? He's making a pretty good fist of it right now. Did you know he is a lawyer by trade - a banking and finance lawyer no less?

Here's a bit of levity for today.

In a radio interview, all four candidates are being asked the same questions about their electorate. In this case, "what are the electorate saying most concerns them?" From the incumbent and two candidates we hear a grassroots concern about the cost of operating a small business. From the Libs, the candidate heads off on a tirade about the GDP which if you add in the state GDP...etc. The presenters cuts him of and rather sarcastically says, really, people are stopping you in the street to complain about the GDP? And moves on. Excellent stuff.
