Hmm. The blind leading the incompetent. To war. How encouraging.

But as always, a 20 minute presentation can only just cover the superficialities. And it’s probably on the basis of this cursory look that all policy decisions are made – including invasions, ASBOs, Police Powers, Education, Health, etc.
You can bet they spend a great deal more time and effort scrutinising the latest proposals for their remunerations.
