The purpose of which was to announce their new policy on guns, being the same as the old one, "Guns are bad!!!!" <br />They sent out an email request for warm bodies to make the occasion more photogenic.<br /> They had a decent number of well dressed people turn up in response, who enjoyed the nibblies and then proceeded to explain to the attending press why the policy was unworkable. Said attendees were almost all members of the Shooters Party. <br />Not the Greens finest moment in controlling their message.Radagastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-88030247860445641212012-03-18T17:02:04.973+11:002012-03-18T17:02:04.973+11:00Still clinging desperately to his "fish in a ...Still clinging desperately to his "fish in a barrel" line too.<br /><br />Ben Cubby @bencubby 16 Mar<br />@GalileoMovement Im not interested in "debating" you for the same reason Im not interested in shooting fish in a barrel.<br /><br />mr.simmonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-31844185432339897302012-03-18T15:39:49.397+11:002012-03-18T15:39:49.397+11:00I've never been to a function at Manning Clark...I've never been to a function at Manning Clark House but I've been past a couple of times when one is on, and it's like being caught in a time tunnel, grey heads pulling up in late 1990s Volvos and all dressed in a sort of uniform of skivvies, tweeds and cords, as though they were all going to a fancy dress party as 'intellectuals c.1965'. The only sartorial concessions to the last 20 years are, depending in the weather, Akubra hats and Kathmandu vests (academic pallor attracts melanoma, and the owners of Kathmandu are lefties). <br /><br />It will, BTW, surprise no one that Manning Clark House, the former resident of the late leftist Professor who attacked the alleged greed and complacency of Australain suburbia, is a posh, architect-designed house on Canberra's second-swankiest street. I wonder if Tony Kevin will be there? He also lives in a big house in a posh street ony a hop, step and jump away.<br /><br />Consuela PotezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-2784762765920971292012-03-18T14:38:51.603+11:002012-03-18T14:38:51.603+11:00I've done my days in lefty Cadre land, Prof. ...I've done my days in lefty Cadre land, Prof. Won't be there. And Ben in the Cubbyhouse, yes, we do insist. And will keep on insisting. Childish fantasies need to be shown as such by grown-ups who actually know what they are talking about.

Anyway, I do not need to be in the company of crypto-communists to savour all that touchy feely equality. Not even the free drinks will tempt me from the cool waters by.
