“Shame on the Greens for using tragedy and disaster to push their agenda — how typical and bloody-minded,” Mr McCormack said."

Di Natali, current Greens leader, is facing internal criticism over the Greens' candidate's poor shewing in the Batman by-election.

Whether its mass gun killings in the US, or a terrible bushfire in Australia, the "sensitive" Tories like Issy, fain trite indignation whenever reference is made to possible causes. They simply do not want to know about any causes that might expose their own short comings. Someone get the smelling salts for poor Issy, he's just fainted!

Dear Is Mise,

Were you being insensitive or just plain stupid when you used the tragedy of the gunning down of school kids to push your agenda of arming teachers?

As to the fires it is surprising that we are experiencing extensive and destructive fires so late in the season, a predicted consequence of global warming.

Here is a list of major fires in victoria since 1851;

Yes.

Steele,

"Were you being insensitive or just plain stupid when you used the tragedy of the gunning down of school kids to push your agenda of arming teachers?"

What a contemptible question.

I think it's a quite a reasonable question. Certainly no more or less contemptible than your question about the greens, which you were quite happy to ask.

Your attempt to duck it, however, leaves much to be desired. -10 points for Slytherin.

And for those of you playing at home, the correct answer to Steele's question is 'yes'.
