he should have been on the voice.

what the genuine fuck.

oh





dear




never again

Had to immediately close the video when it started.

You know what is really fucked up about this vid.

That we are paying this fuckwit a couple hundred grand a year and a bullshit golden handshake pension to do shit like this.

hahahahaha, what in the actual fuck.

I hope for everybody's sake he's just a lone idiot and somebody didn't seriously suggest this would be a good idea in a Labor caucus meeting.

Probably that bloody Peter Garrett. Jokes on him, older generation are too embarrassed to admit to listening to Skyhooks and younger generations have no idea who Skyhooks are.

That was quite a what moment.

Horror movie, awesome.

Needed that sound tech guy who twiddled for Paris to help out with his cueing IMO.

shows all the good judgement you've come to expect from an ALP minister.

Hahaha.

So, is this a success or a failure as a PR stunt!?

He's put his face everywhere and managed to get a message out. Not sure you could call it a 'win' though.

Maybe Tony should have tried to sing his way out of this...

what in the mother of all fucks was that

you know sometimes it is best to shut your pie hole rather than make yourself look like a lame dick.

Except for when shutting your pie hole is what makes you look like a lame dick. Fair enough if they were dodgy questions that didn't deserve an answer, he could have walked off and snubbed the guy, but standing there staring at him and twitching like you're having a stroke isn't the smoothest move.

from his wiki...

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.

that is more embarrassing than his song and dance..

I'm sorry I must have missed the part where ­­­­­– as a politician ­­­­­– it's lamer to do some shitty embarrassing song and dance than it is to lack the brain power to either answer a question or walk away.

Regardless of the merits of the question, he's a politician who will need to make very important decisions for the future of the country. If his best effort in the face of a relatively insignificant question is to stand there silently twitching with a serial killer-rapist look on his face for a minute straight then you'll forgive me for having some grave concerns.

Silence is best as it is hard to broadcast. If he walks off they have some planned things to call out to make you look bad, "Tony, why are you dodging this issue?" ect.

What a total load of rubbish to say a response that is hard to broadcast is best. How about a strong, confident, well thought out response that is actually worth broadcasting? He just looks weak and confused in the video.

The better response would have been to immediately repeat his statement that the question was inapporpriate or unwarranted and that he had already given the answer he felt appropriate. Instead of standing there in silence for the better part of a minute and then doing that.

On the other hand, the best response would have been to actually explain why it was inappropriate beyond the empty memorised script statement that they "shouldn't be turning it into a media circus". Is it too much to ask for politicians with actual individual thinking brains?
