When you consider where the great majority of the ALP's members and Ministers come from...the trade union movement...it doesn't come as any surprise the flotsam that eventually drifts to the surface...
What disgusts me is these throw backs are paid by our taxes to carry on like spoiled children day in and day out. There really needs to be some psychological profiling of Political candidates to find whether they are even suitable for public office before they get any where near the trough.
