I spoke to a member of the local Nationals branch yesterday.
After the by-election result in New England he was contacted with the result but warned that there could be a political blow up in late Feb.
Jokingly he asked if that"s when the baby is due.
The fellow was shocked and asked "how did you know?"
We can safely assume that the powers that be including MT have known about this issue for a very long time.
Instead of putting out the camp fire they allowed it to develop into a full blown bushfire.
Ineptitude or stupidity the result is the same. A very bad one.
