| Kim Carr has been a Labor Senator for 25 years, which you’d think is long enough to have learned that the moment you mention the Nazis, you’ve lost the argument.
Apparently not. But he’s not alone in misjudging the community’s dramatically shortening patience with politicians who spend more time on their ego excursions than meeting voters’ daily concerns.
Why, there are whole days right now where the entire political establishment appears to be arguing itself out the window...over a 200 metre cliff. You’d think that after the Barnaby Joyce defenestration, politicians would be avoiding open windows.
Liberal frontbencher Michaelia Cash lost more than mere arguments this week. She lost her cool, her judgment and the ability to have a meltdown without showing it on every hyper-tensioned surface of her carefully made-up visage, to the unrestrained delight of media photographers.
