One week on… and still no policy detail.
In the aftermath his train wreck interview, which became national and international news, Greenway candidate Jaymes Diaz went underground.
The Australian’s Mark Coultan reported last Thursday that Diaz had been sent to: “media training in a bid to repair the damage from a disastrous interview.”
But sadly when he reappeared in today’s media… he still appeared not to know the six points to the Coalition’s asylum seeker policy.
The sad thing is Americans would think candidates like Diaz and Stephanie Banister are representative of all Australians. Embarrassing. Even more embarrassing would be if Diaz actually wins – which is possible based on the last election results.
We need a show like this to take the Piss out of us. Chaser come’s close, but it’s not quite there.
Voter, the sad thing is the US has its own turkeys but due to weight of numbers we don’t get to see or hear them unless they are totally Palinesque.
Meanwhile, One Nation has removed the prospective MP who didn’t oppose Islam as a nation.
So media training trains them to not say anything at all?
Well Scott, you know the Tony Abbott school of thought, if you don’t have anything positive to say, run the fuck away from any interview or question, regardless of audience or correspondent.
I’m going to run for Prime Minister.
Never mind I need a party, I’ll have lots of parties, you mark my words.
And policy? I’ll have the best policies. I’ll say it again, the BEST policies. OK?
I’ll balance the budget and give everyone more holidays, I’ll fix everything and make
everybody happy, OK?
You just need to vote me in and then you’ll see, see?
I’ll write a special book of my policies. I’ll call it “It’s the VIBE, man”.
The VIBE.
And all the other Leaders just show some leadership, man up and admit I’m the best, OK?
Unless any of the other Leaders are women, in which case, grab me a coffee, OK Honey?
