In an in-depth response to questions about Chinese mining investments, our CIC made it clear that he, and his lawyers, would not tolerate any nonsense from foreign investors in Australia.
He was immediately supported by his Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie, who warned us all about the dangers of rampant Chinese militarism in our region.
PUP supporters everywhere broke out their collections of champagne and toasted the party into the early hours.
Australia was again in safe hands.
In Canberra, the more informed and serious members of our parliament disagreed.
The Department of Foreign Affairs went into damage control. Even the CIC attempted a belated clarification of his statements.
Our political and economic problems deepen every day.
We have already seen that the CIC has little understanding of parliamentary responsibility. He, and his party have little knowledge of, or interest in, responsible fiscal and economic management.
The PUP continues to oppose everything that confuses it and takes an immediate populist stance on every issue.
It is well past time that the senior parliamentarians in all parties decided to make the CIC and his party totally irreleant.
They have to get together to protect our parliamentary processes, return to sensible considerations of issues and combine their voting authority to put good and effective governance at the centre of all their activities.
“It’s time” the ALP decided to join with the Coalition to stop all the petty party political squabbling and general hysteria in our federal parliament.
