The full tape goes on for about 9 minutes in similarly excruciating vein. Whilst I am not a Greens voter, the Australian Greens are at least competent. Perhaps that's why they exported this poor sap.

Competent.
A level that all political parties at federal level at least can only aspire to in Australia presently.

Fair point, I was speaking relative to this interview. But then again, relative to this interview, the Moomba bird man with his biplane replica is Kingsford-Smith.

Fair's fair.
As far a politicians go in recent times, the Poms gave us Abbott and Gillard, we gave them that one.
We're still behind on the exchange.

Very cringeworthy but I couldn't stop laughing at the way she began to conveniently have a 'cold' and then cough in the process when she was deprived of answering questions

No they did not - Julia is Welsh - when will you convict colonists understand that the Poms are English - the Scots are Scottish, the Welsh are from Wales etc etc
Calling someone from Wales or Scotland a Pom is like calling someone from NSW a Maroon at a State of Origin game!!!
Abbott on the other hand - is most certainly a Pom! Maybe he could go back to the old dart - their cricket team needs some help

How stupid would that be? Ok, there are a few maarons at your typical rugby game, no doubt of it, but if you are looking for morans and want plenty of them, you need to go to the A League soccer, where the whole grandstand is full of morons who actually think that soccer is a kind of sport.

It's not that stupid.
At a State of origin game roughly 1/2 the crowd are Maroons and the other 1/2 Blues. |

answer to WPT in the terrorist thread
I used to have a kids clothing business and I was shopping at warehouses, my kids were 3 and 18 months. my eldest picked up a box of ratsac and I didn't know if she had eaten any. I panicked and took her to st vincents, as it was just up the road.
they used a tele link to the childrens hospital to get advice on how to get her to drink charcoal! it was the first time the technology had been used, so they asked me if I minded them getting someone in to take a pic, so im thinking, man with a camera, picture on the wall, 15 min, no big deal.
next thing I know there is 4 full tv crews, the age, the sun, and god knows who else. glad I had a hairbrush and lipstick!!
after driving through the traffic home, about an hour, I get home to a ringing phone and a full answering machine .turns out, in the add breaks the news headline was "new technology saves life of three year old".
and we were the first story mentioned on 4 channels! couple of months later, the technology really did save someones life, but they used our stuff again!!
after taking out stuff that wasn't me or my kids, I still had a good 10 min footage for my daughters 21st tape Saturday night!!
(ps she hadn't eaten any, all tests were negative, thank God!!)
