"He did not talk to the cuts but waffled about the cost of the scheme. He also started his response with the comment that he himself had two daughters who didn't have the problem the questioners son faced. It was an innocent comment but just sounded a tad awkward, out of place."
hmmmm - actually - I thought he did that part pretty well - even if he did look a tad awkward --
he said about the most empathetic and sympathetic thing I've heard him say - and, that was that he couldn't understand what that was like - he could only try to understand
something like that
I thought that was a pretty good way of saying it
I could have imagined him stuffing that up completely - but, he didn't
he managed to score some lovely political points for Albo and Labor there though
