Peter Costello is a Nitwit
Yes, remember Peter Costello, that bloke everyone once said would be Prime Minister? We haven't heard much of him recently, so he decided to pipe up with something so utterly bizarre that we couldn't help but take notice.
No, not that business about him being a big fan of professional wrestling (what the hell was that all about?). No - according to Smirking Mediocrity, the record 18 ALP members who were thrown out of Question Time were being very methodical indeed. In fact, they were `beleagured' MPs clinging on to their preselections by the skin of their toenails:
"I think the reason why they're doing it is that they know they're preselections are coming up, that the unions control a lot of these preselections and they want to go into the preselection with a badge of honour."
Hmm.
Now let's look at the figures, shall we (exhaustively detailed on this very website).
Two MPs were thrown out twice (that is, in two successive sittings, the Member for Grayndler, Anthony Albanese, and the Member for Fowler, Julia Irwin. . I could be wrong, but with a margin of 22.6%, I believe Albanese's is the safest Labor seat in NSW, and one of the safest in the country. Likewise, Julia Irwin sits on a very-bloody comfortable 21.4%. I don't think the likes of Lindsay Tanner, Wayne Swan, Tanya Plibersek or Annette Ellis are quivering as they contemplate the loss of their pre-selections at the hands of unsympathetic union bosses.
Unfortunately I'm pressed for time - otherwise I'd love to go all Antony Green and work out exactly who would have acted up just to win favour in pre-selection, but I'll have to make a compromise and say ... er, not that many actually Pete. If any. At all.
