q&a bill shorten on his knees, page-23

sledger -

could you, so insultingly critical of Julie Bishop - calling her "poor old dear" - an insult to so many of us on here - age discriminatory-wise - she about the same age as Gillard - (whom you obviously would not then regard as an "old dear") - then give us a short precis run-down of what you yourself think such Lefty Cutesy social engineering terminology as this allegedly pre-prepared, obscure and ambiguous Tony Jones trap question might be?

No peeking at dictionaries or Google though - what the hell IS "behavioural protocol"? Pray enlighten us. And perhaps convince us you know by using it in a sentence context.

fot what does it mean?

Must wear a hat to the races, perhaps?
Or don't spit in the street, perhaps?
Don't beat you wife, perhaps?

Come on!

(Don't think Tony Jones is contactable by 'phone, though. I could ask him - for your and my, enlightenment.) Too clever by half, "our" Mr. Jones.

Not wise to pigeonhole the good posters on here either - each of whom, like you, are entitled to their views - be they Left, or Right.

Bishop was on her own. Last night. Entirely. One against the panel - the host - and much of the room. Easy to be cynically derisive of her effort from an armchair.

If I'd have been her - I would have walked out. All credit to her she did not.
