It is not on the same level as Gillard's Misogamy speech but it delivers a well deserved slap to PM Abbott before the rerun of the WA Federal Senate election.
Well worth spending the 7 minutes listening to. It purports to be an invitation from the WA Senator for the PM to visit WA but the few sentences from 6:30 to 6:57 are the nicest way I have heard any pollie tell the Mad Monk to shove it up his arse and not get ejected from Parliament (or indeed provoke cries of outrage). A joy.
BTW the Senate is the Federal Upper House where each state has an equal number of representatives (12) half being elected every 4 years. The territories (ACT and NT) get a couple of reps each.
The senate election in WA is having to be redone because the WA Electoral Commission lost 1300 votes at the last election.
Wonderful!! Did you see the news clip about Gina Rinehart saying that Australians are living beyond their mean and too much welfare - from someone who inherited $20million and supports business welfare.
