Glenn Lazarus is a former rugby footballer, who was nicknamed 'the brick with eyes'. He's basically a warm body whose election was paid for by a political party founded by a billionaire miner who - the miner - has hardly been present in the House of Representatives when it comes to votes other than to vote for climate change legislation repealing one of the lowest carbon taxes in the OECD and - go figure - a mining tax. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-16/clive-palmer-is-mp-least-likely-to-use-lower-house-vote/5746612 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-16/clive-palmer-is-mp-lea...
He's also building the Titanic II. Nevertheless, this wasn't the stupidest thing heard in the Senate this week, which would be Chris Back's "Some people may be distressed to know maleness is actually suppressed femaleness".
Edit: Yes, I already know there's a TV show just waiting to be written out of the daily tales of Australian politics. No need to tell me. But the media here, controlled like politics by Rupert Murdoch, isn't going to be the one to do it.

- chewxy 12y agoYeah, I'm aware. PUP and Clive Palmer went from being the punchline of the Chaser boys' jokes to something seriously wrong in a very short period of time.
- robryan 12y agoAmazing what you can do with almost limitless campaign funding. Hopefully on some issues they aid in voting the government down but it is really rolling the dice.
