Like a lot of politics junkies I watched Craig Thompson’s address to the parliament and I must say that I found his rambling speech anything but convincing and his consumption of water was to say the least extraordinary and clearly a significant tell of just how fearful and nervous he clearly was about delivering his explanation to the house.
Anyway what did everyone else think of this piece of tragic political theatre ?
Cheers Comrades
My comment will be up later tonight…my first thoughts though are “everyone feel sorry for me” and “you bastards!” What a waste of time…
Quote from Joe Hildebrand:
🙂
It wasn’t so much ‘here I am proving I didn’t do it’ as ‘you can’t prove I did it’.
One blogger reckons he drank six glasses of water (in 59 minutes) while another counted 19 sips, so enthralling was what he was actually saying.
Did anyone else notice how few government members were present? Where were they, and why?
“…this piece of tragic political theatre”? That sums it up well. Only the die-est of die-hard true believers would believe a word of it.
Well, it reminded me of this…
Most Apt citation of Vicky Pollard GD!
In more detail I cite George Brandis in today’s Oz who explains just why Thompson’s explanation is just utterly unbelievable:
even Age readers are unconvinced and if you check out the poll at the end of Grratten’s piece you will see that less than 20% are satisfied with his explanation.
Not that I would wish it on anyone but I think that Thompson should be on suicide watch from his demeanour yesterday.
