    I’d be dumbfounded about how something like this could be brought in, but then I remember that in my country our previous prime minister, when he was treasurer before that, brought a lump of coal in to parliament and said “This is coal. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you.” to talk down any talk of climate change and how bad coal is for the environment. Another former prime minister ate a raw onion, skin and all.

    These lifetime politicians really do live in a world of their own. They’re a bunch of grown up children with no idea how to behave.
