“Whatever Julia says…”

No, this is not a spoof interview with John Clark.

This is a real interview: with Australian MP Bill Shorten, something called a “workplace relations minister,” showing all the intellectual independence of a castrated newt.

The subject of the interview was originally Peter Slipper. It became Bill Shorten.

And his moment in the sun has now gone around the world.

  1. I can't believe it's real. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

  2. These are our representatives folks. This happens all the time in all gvts. This time the guy just happened to admit it. Because it's cool now to be a sheep. Cheers!

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
