Slowly making the successful transition from asshat to conservative caricature, Peter Debnam wastes everybody’s time.
Now the NSW Opposition Leader, on the eve of his first anniversary in the job today, wants every police car in the state to fly the Australian flag. Mr Debnam spent about half an hour in the Legislative Assembly debating the issue with Government MPs yesterday.
Sounds a bit familiar doesn’t it? So where will Debnam steal his big next big idea? Probably from some silly old duffer who has a wee problem with non english speaking Muslims.
Not far enough I say. Those police car speakers that are wasted giving occasional instructions to motorists could be put to use constantly playing patriotic songs.
Debnam is a strange kettle of fish all right. Yesterday he was talking about the government “vomiting” up a plan (to protect minors from the IR legislation). The sort of stuff that gets voters looking at him sideways, while they nervously shuffle away.
What a great idea Anthony.
Of course, our most famous patriot song would have to be adapted, given the identity of the car:
Once a jolly p’liceman
Whacked an Abo in Woollongong
“Time’s long past for lefty PC!”
Chucked a swarthy raghead into the divvy van
“You look like Osama bin Laden to me!”
Lovely work Katz, maybe we’ve just scratched the surface. How about
-broadcasting English lessons in non-assimilated neighbourhoods
-spot history quizzes “You there on the bicycle – what was Captain Cook’s middle name?”
-regular alerts on not being alarmed
“nervously shuffle away”
I think that sums up the reaction of many people to the increasing shrill and loony NSW Liberals.
Wel, they’re certainly scraping the bottom of the barrell for candidates.
Right. Don’t want to hear any more remarks from Mexicans about how Queensland politics is the domain of rednecks. In our state election at the moment, Laura Norder has hardly raised her head.
Sing it out:
“We don’t like being mug-lair coppers,
But once upon a time we thought we did.”
I wish I could remember the rest of the words.
Won’t this flag-pole idea just add to the alleged “resource-shortage” police are experiencing, a theme Debnam keeps banging on about. Should police resources be spent on capricious things like decorating a vehicle when police vehicles already have the state’s crest painted on.
