LNP shenanigans delight the native <br />crowd again – but geeze, Wilson <br />Tuckey quoted in the same shrewd <br />sentence as His Royal Shyness, <br />the Front Bench Opposition Health <br />spokesman, Peter Dutton is <br />beyond belief. <br /> <br />Who’d have seen a semblance of <br />connect between the two except <br />the ABC? That Peter failed a pre- <br />selection bid for the Dickson Seat <br />he holds doesn’t have too much <br />to do with Old ‘Ironbar’ unless <br />you’re real short-polled for words. <br /> <br />Senator Barnaby Joyce, a sort of <br />born-again neo-evangelist with <br />National(istic) leanings said, ‘relax, <br />it’s just Democracy in action’, and <br />he may be right; it’s that <i>odd thing</i> <br />only we and backbenchers in <br />Opposition might get to exercise. <br />© 6 October 2009, I.
