Afternoon tea -Ruined.

Now, I knew for a certain fact that there were Scones in the oven; being a sensible sort, I downed tools, promised the dogs a crust or two,  a headed off to DT's domain and 'boiled the Billy' to make tea. Peace reigned, idly watching Sky News until - THIS – was aired.

Disgust and fury spoiled the day. 'We' at AP have watched Sterle's antics as chair in Estimates, and before,  for long while now; I doubt any of the BRB would shout him beer – 'nuf said. We have had reports of meetings and even attended one or two – where he has nodded off during and never had a reply or response to the topics. However, all that is just part of the 'game' played in Sleepy Hollow. But this exhibition today unveiled that which we suspected as being 'hidden'. Exposed for all the world to see.

Over the years; many an Ale has been 'sipped' in the company of those who drive for a living; from the big rigs to the timber truck to the cattle trains and anything in between; almost all 'good blokes'. I reckon if Sterle spoke like that to a bar maid, or the petrol check out, or the waitress in the Cafe; 'words' would spoken. Sterle would need the Gods help if he spoke in that manner to their nearest and dearest. FFS – what do you imagine the 'big hitters' - domestic or foreign – will make of this revealing of his true nature? In my world, it would be a knuckle sandwich and good night Vienna. 

Resignation and apology is not enough; but it would be a start. Workplace rules? Anyone? – this exhibition was in the 'Tedibly PC' heart of the nation, in a Senate Estimates, in the 'houses of Parliament, in public, on camera and disgusting.  

Bravo Sen McKenzie; well done and as they say in the classics  – Have at 'em (big time)..

Illegitimi non carborundum
