Are you going to keep dying your hair?”
– During the Mean Girls’ abusive war on Labor’s Kimberley Kitching, underappreciated style icon and beauty Penny Wong reportedly taunted the late senator about her appearance. “Penny went apeshit,” a source told the Australian Financial Review. “She ranted at her for an hour.”

So the Belt & Road agreements are hidden under the pretext of a National Cabinet..???
How many other States have similar hidden agreements!?
Which is exactly the comparison I was making a week or so ago, and for which Ed besmirched me.
I’m kinda glad this story still has legs.
… lesbian style icon and celebrated beauty Penny Wong…
Benny dresses in the “early-1900s old geezer” style. I’m guessing she also wears braces to keep them pants up. Now, admittedly, in the lespian community this could indeed be considered “chic”.

You see, I thought they were colleagues. Equals in the Senate. Representatives of the people/states, and sent to that place to review and amend bad legislation. Maybe even curtail the ambitions of wanton, petty tyrants, and the like – quaint, I know.
That one is “the boss” is just one more example of a grossly dysfunctional political system.
…of the selective kind no doubt. If only Wong and her colleagues (cabal?) took umbrage towards disloyalty (at best, and treason at worst) against Australia and its people with the same enthusiasm they demand obedience to “tha pardee”.
These people, apparently, are the best we have to offer.
A total shitshow.
Penny Wong is a bitch.
Microagressions? Berating a colleague for an hour is demented stuff.
Regardless of gender, regardless of seniority or even circumstances.
If Wong did this, she should go. She is not fit to serve the Australian people in any capacity.
This story only has legs because the bastardry in the alp is so bad even their own team cant abide by it any longer. Usually they clam up and brazen it out with a compliant media doing their bidding. Let’s not pretend any of that will change here. They would prefer to keep that culture even if it means losing the election.
Agree Calli berating for an hour.
How can that not be bullying.
“If Wong did this, she should go. She is not fit to serve the Australian people in any capacity.”
Agree….but the reality is that she will be a senior minister in our next government.
Just sit back and contemplate that.
I put as much trust in Kenneally’s assertions that this is untrue as I do in her avowals that she had no idea that her valued mentors Obeid and Tripodi were corrupt.
Mmyes. Foreign Affairs. Hel-lo.
Threatened by the charismatic, multilingual Kimba much?
As of yesterday (Fierra Concerravanti-Wells) the narrative is now “There are no mean girls in the ALP! And anyway, the Libs have got them too!”
I did of course mean Concetta Fierravanti-Wells. Where did I put those meds?
Should be retitled 2 mean girls and 1 mean um, er, chap?
