He was dancing (or maybe bopping would be a better description).

Mary Jo gets a six from this judge, Craig a two. He is seriously embarrassing.

Anyone else seen Craig Emerson break into song (from about 1:30).

Your Labor party leaders at work folks - yep, these people are running your country. Truly cringeworthy.


Were you asleep when Pater Costello started reciting Midnight Oil lyrics in the house?

Emerson was in a relationship with fellow MP Julia Gillard in 2002, prior to her rise to the prime ministership.[5] He was previously married and has three children.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Emerson

A quick google check will bring up any number of references.

Okay, granted.

Do you have any reason other than poisoning the well for bringing this up?

The "E" in JREF - i.e. Education. I also pointed out my reason, which pertains to her poor judgement.

btw. Are you hinting at a double entendre there in a similar vein to Barry Humphries on Gina? (from about 2 mins). I have poisoned no well; others may have but not me.

Mod WarningAs I had stated here (http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...&postcount=148), there is no "catch all" thread for Australian politics.

You are welcome to start threads on any of the various topics mentioned in this thread (and of course others that are not mentioned) re Australian politics.

Thread closed.
