"liberal candidate Fiona Scott believes she understands why people in such a fast-growing area think asylum seekers are such a hot topic.
JANINE COHEN: that's a pretty hot topic, isn't it, asylum seekers ?
FIONA SCOTT: well, yeah, it's a hot topic here, but it's a hot topic here, because our traffic is overcrowded, i mean, you guys have been here for a few days now, I mean how much fun is the M4, in peak hour, it's not fun at all, and you imagine a mum, you know it's a classic example, trying to be back for a six o'clock pick-up from day care, and every minute you're late, you're getting charged, now you multiply that by a couple a kids, it means that when you think of over-crowding it becomes an issue for people. it really does.
JANINE COHEN: so you mention asylum-seekers and overcrowding. i don't quite get the connection
FIONA SCOTT: well, my recommendation is go and sit in the Emergency Department of Nepean Hospital,or go and sit on the M4, and people see 50,000 people come by boat, and that's more than twice the population of glenmore park, where we just were ...

Well, Fiona Scott's hypothetical mum with two or more kids is part of the problem.
The world is literally crawling with people and their kids. Immigration is just re-arranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

I was flabbergasted at how dumb she was when I saw her on the program.
No wonder Tony Abbott could only praise her sex appeal because she sure hasn't got brains in her favour.
It was a bad night on TV last night for Liberal intelligence. Or lack of it.

it explains his 'sex appeal' assessment, you wouldn't seek her out for conversation that's for sure.

It seems that Libs don't find IQ or conversational skills necessary in females. Only that other appeal. Those who say that abbott has a problem with women never expand on that statement as they should. He has a problem with women who have more than a little grey matter, whether or not they "look good".
