You have to ask: what sort of constituency would regard the opposition’s juvenile, petulant, tactless, gormless, insolent, impudent, smug, stupid, brattish and incurably unamusing parliamentary behaviour as worthy? As worthy of our democracy’s primary law-making institution? As worthy of a legislature that has so many urgent generational challenges facing it (such as climate change, the water crisis, Aboriginal disadvantage)?
I know.
The juvenile, petulant, tactless, gormless, insolent, impudent, smug, stupid, brattish and incurably unamusing morons who voted for them.
(With all due respect.)
Thanks for reprinting the thesaurus [blog handle deleted]. It seems you laborites are in desperate need of an education.
The repsonse to the response:
[blog handle deleted], are you juvenile, petulant, tactless, gormless, insolent, impudent, smug, stupid, brattish, incurably unamusing or a moron?
If so, which of these would you say is your most endearing attribute?
If not, let me ask you this: are you lacking in empathy, broad-mindedness, nuanced modes of understanding, tolerance of difference, wariness of overt demonstrations of dogmatism or insidious attempts at political, religious or ideological indoctrination? Further, do you suffer from a lack of compassion, sensitivity, sophistication, subtlety or reasonableness?
Two more questions: are you either (a) a member of the Exclusive Brethren's blog vigilance unit (the one based in Junee)?; or (b) Bronwyn Bishop?
