Lady? Sophie Mirabella is no lady: he is Tony Abbott in rather unconvincing drag. In keeping with the 'Mad Monk' idea I usually think of him as the 'Nutty Nun' when he's bewigged and befrocked.

Whatever we think of the participants, we seem to be avoiding the issue that Naomi raises.
That issue is where do we stand?
Will we be like the Priest and the Levite who passed by avoiding the injured man or like the Samaritan who went to the man's aid.
If we can not see who is our neighbour then we each have a big problem.

Dear Atman,

If Greg Combet reminds you of an undertaker?
Well at least he has good reflexes and
reacts quickly in a crisis. I know I'd get
help if I needed it sitting next to him.
Not so sure about the trout pouting Sophie M.
or the be-whiskered walrus (forget his name)
sitting at the other end.

cont'd ...

BTW - with the damage the Libs are causing
we do need undertakers in the Govrnment to
bury them.

I believe the major problem people had was with the look of revulsion on her face, nothing more and nothing less.

I for one am prepared to treat her response in the way she would have if it was Gillard in her seat responding the same way.
