Tamworth’s MP puts the boot in……

I think Polly bashing should be a national sport, it’s just so much fun. What’s nearly more fun is watching them bash each other.

Thanks to Peter Draper MP for Tamworth who spent his Chrisy Holidays checking out the Hansard so he could rate his proformance last year against other MP.

Well Petey turned up some interesting stats that may leave some MP making some very quick statements in question time.

Apparently if you go and count up the amount of questions and/or statement made by the MPs you find out that some MPs are a little shy and don’t make very big contribution.

MR Petey Draper’s too shy list seems to include half of the Natonal and Liberal Party (Peter Debnam being pointed out for special attention), but perhaps that isn’t surprising.

And perhaps what is surprising is that Joe Tripodi and Cherie Burton both Labor.

As much as I would to give Petey a harty slap on the back for bringing this matter to the attention of the electorate I just can’t bring myself too, you see back in 2003 our Petey believed that Farmers and “Sportsman” for some reason NEED semi-automatic pistols with barrels smaller than 120mm………I’m not a country girl nor do I know anything about guns so maybe I just don’t get it but…….why does a farmer need a pistol?

From Petey’s Hansard:

I strongly condemn this bill, which, is yet another anti-country initiative, and, of course, the majority of people who will be directly affected live well outside the major cities. It is legislation that will directly disadvantage a group of legitimate and decent people who pursue a legitimate and decent sport. Under the new regulations a revolver with a barrel under 100 millimetres will become illegal. Any semiautomatic with a barrel length of less than 120 millimetres will also be deemed illegal. Most semiautomatic pistols have 100-millimetre barrels, so the vast majority will be non-compliant.

But hay I don’t live in Tamworth and Petey isn’t my MP so if that’s the view of the people of Tamworth then fair enough. 

Rule of Thumb – Never congratulate a Poly to much
