Conroy takes the cake Posted on June 1, 2013 by Judith Sloan
I have just been reading the transcript of the Senate Estimates hearing in which Eric Abetz attempts to ask ABC managing director, Mark Scott, about the appointment of overtly partisan leftoid, Russell Skelton, to the position of head fact-checker at the ABC.
What a complete joke, but actually Mark Scott was able to avoid answering the questions by virtue of the irresponsible and puerile interruptions of Senator Conroy. And is there not a point that the ABC is a statutory authority and not a government department, so Conroy should have largely remained silent?
The senatorโs performance removes any doubt about Conroy being a witless, unintelligent, immature and boorish grub who is completely unfit to be a Minister of the Crown.
And to think he is overseeing the largest government funded boondoggle without a cost-benefit analysis. And to think that this is the man who came within a whisker of clamping down on freedom of speech. Had it not been for his complete incompetence and impatience โ the independents were kindly disposed to the idea of Conroyโs legislation โ the bill may well have passed. (Is this possibly a case of so bad being so good?)
I am thinking of running a book on the worst minister of this Labor government. Yes, I know fish rot from the head down and all that, but I am not including the PM in my list of starters.
There are a lot of contenders and perhaps I need to refine some criteria for the awarding of the big reverse elephant stamp. But it is hard to go past:Coroy
