It seems the best counterpoint to a narcissist is a Green.

Unsurprisingly, HoWARd was unable to reach a compromise and was quoted as saying,
"We decide the nature of immigration flows to this country. I believe that that policy is not only the right policy but it is a policy that enjoys the support of the Australian people."
I am inspired by Judi Moylan’s optimism that HoWARd is capable of displaying humanity.
"[…] but I think, you know, there’s an opportunity…I’m sure that the Government’s willing to, as the Prime Minister stated on many occasions, to make the policy and its administration more humane, to introduce greater flexibility and to make sure that it’s fair."
I am however unmoved from my position that HoWARd is a turd and await the bill’s.

Petro Georgiou on behalf of Bruce Baird, Judi Moylan, Russell Broadbent and Suki Lombard asked the Prime Minister to read, listen and watch. Petro had created a powerpoint presentation that was able to be projected onto the wall of the room. It contained,

John HoWARd was heard to have said,
"Oh my. How could I have presided over such cruelty and abuse? I will change the policy immediately. Moreover, I will fund a program of community workers to integrate every new Australian into our society and I will assign a mental health specialist to each person who has been detained. I hope Australia can forgive me for this wrong doing."
The news item that inspired this post was a birthday gift from diogenesian discourse, thanks Gerry.
By early June, SHAO was fully formed and on 6 June 2004 a girl was born.
I named her Suki and, my, oh my, is she a handful!
As any proud matriarch would understand, I love my Suki unconditionally and have to share her presence with you all.
So sit back, relax and settle in for the slideshow.
Early on I had trouble with Suki taking things that didn’t belong to her. She would forget to acknowledge sources and take home pictures without asking.
One time a playdate got very upset and changed a ‘stolen’ picture to this one…
Suki has been to paediatric counseling and is now cured of her kleptomania. However, as with any youngster, I am ever vigilant for the inevitable ‘slippage.’
Suki’s most popular post was when she made a picture of Alexander Downer.
His mum doesn’t let him come over anymore since Suki ran him over with her mini chopper.
As with any beautiful baby, Suki had unwanted attention from a very naughty playmate. I had to call security on Marcel White and he has wisely respected a mother’s warning.
I am most proud of this.
Happy first birthday Suki!
