As each day goes by I am more and more astonished at the Prime Minister’s ability to keep his balance and reason surrounded, as he is, by the the moral midgets he has at every turn. Q&A is always a revelation. But what can one say about Amanda Vanstone! That she represents a faction of absolutely disgusting fools who for no reason I can think of, believe there is some valid point to be worrying about the niceties of whether we deprive people of their citizenship if they show up in an Islamic State war zone is incredible to me. These are people I would at least have the pleasure of scraping out of my life thereafter should they ever raise such thoughts with me. But Abbott must work with them if he is to hold the party together and prevent even worse.

Listen Amanda, these people – AND DO NOT GO TO THE LINK UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR IT – are not shoplifting from Woolies. These people are the equivalent of guards in a Nazi concentration camp. Indeed, they are worse since they make huge efforts to go off and join. If we can keep them out of our country, we should. Aid and comfort to the enemy is what you are giving, both here and overseas. If you and your mates actually think this shows you are upholding the finest traditions of our civilisation, then you are as barbaric as the people you defend.
