The tricky part is not pissing us off too much.

Just back from seeing the grand-kids.. one sure way of fixing a long term neck/shoulder lock-up is to ride a grand-kid on your shoulders around a shopping centre.... *click*... hasn't felt this good for years...

Anyway - I caught Pauline's Q & A - and was frankly disgusted by the tactics of Tony Jones and Sam Dastardly, in their pressuring, heaping issues on issues, distracting from the issue being answered, and flatly removing her chance of responding to often absurd criticisms.  Dastardly has nothing to complain about re Australians - he arrived here at age 5 and at 33 is a Senator... meanwhile many multi-generational Australians can't even get a look in, so he should be cheering Australians on and kissing our feet for our LACK of prejudice and discrimination.

Jones et al knew full well that if interrupted outrageously, and handed fifteen questions in one to answer, she would revert to her essentially shy nature and appear flummoxed.

On the other hand, when she was allowed to speak, she nailed 'em pretty good, in contrast to the snakeoil salesmen from the other parties, none of whom impressed me at all, and only trotted out the same old tripe.

The Greens lady, under pressure, reverted to the time-honoured guilt trip over what we're doing to the planet etc... and I thought the Muslim lass with the paranoia over what we Australians are apparently doing to all those poor Muslims we've saved from an early sandy grave etc, was so one-sided she was totally blind to anything else.  Apparently Australians pick on all those poor boys who run off to fight for IS etc and we vbictimes Muslims at every turn, and it's the people like Pauline Hanson who REACT to their actions that are to blame, and not their often stupid, selfish, navel-gazing blindness to anything outside what their teachings tell them and their pseudo-macho bulldust.
