Annabel writes about the latest disaster in NSW politics –
“That any of them think they have the time to plot and backstab, to feast and fornicate, to construct elaborate strategies whose aims and outcomes are entirely independent of the public good is a marvel.” I think a marvel a bit tame Annabel, its a fuckin miracle that any public good comes out of NSW politics right now. Zero public good. Its no wonder that people have lost faith in public institutions and it will only result in a renewed assault on those institutions when the government changes hands.
But I do like Annabel’s closing remark, it made me laugh
“Think about it. What would O’Farrell have to do, exactly, to get a gallop in the media these days? Intimacy with a goat probably would not do it. Not on its own, anyway. The goat would have to be pregnant, and willing to talk.”
And the Tele! What a classy little rag that is, the apparently anonymous story from the mouth of the 26 year old woman who was sleeping with someone old enough to be her father splashed all over its front page. What if it had been a goat? Where’s the front page confession there? I guess Annabel’s right, Mr O’Farrell and a dumb goat probably wouldn’t be enough but imagine the potential of Mr O’Farrell and a ROBOT!
