That man earned the tiniest bit of my respect that day

Not the least bit surprised he's an Australian politician. You guys have the weirdest politics, I remember Scomo shitting himself in Engadine, Katter equating gay marriage and crocodile attacks and the late drowned Holt getting a memorial swimming pool.

Yeah beyond the swimming pool for Harold Holt, we also have the rhyming slang going to Harold Holt meaning going to bolt or run away abruptly.

Do I want him to hold the tiniest bit of power? No. Do I want him live on TV every so often with interviewers who let him keep talking? Yes

Throw long stabby thing at him and it's always funny
