I saw most of Q&A last night, which was basically an hour of the Prime Minister taking questions from a (mostly) loving audience.
Andrew Bolt has already noted how the audience was stacked.
The odd thing I noticed about it was that the audio on the audience seemed really turned up to 11. Kevin would make a mildly humorous comment, and the audience laughter in response sounded like a laugh track from Seinfeld.
Although there were questions coming from a critical perspective, the whole thing was so controlled it was far from a challenging environment. Our PM is good at avoiding the question, and is still at the stage of blaming the previous government for most things.
I still can't warm to his personality. Beneath all the standard politician talk, I get the impression that he's a tightly sprung, over-controlling robot, who is not as self-effacing as he likes to portray. There is a faux humility in the continued references to his upbringing in Nambour, which I am very tired of hearing about.

ReplyDeleteWell you'd better get used to it he's gonna be around a long time.
That he is blaming the government for everything, is not bad really, since if you take out the weekends and public holidays he's been in power ten fucking minutes.
You conservatives have short memories,Howard was fond of,when he wasn't lying to the Australian people, blaming Whitlam for everything but the bubonic plague to crutch crabs...
