In memory of Senator Conroy

Today, the former Minister for Wearing Underpants on his Head, Labor’s Stephen Conroy, announced his intention to quit parliament.

No doubt he will be replaced by someone further to the left, more beholden to left-wing identity politics, even more authoritarian in their zeal to squash freedom of speech, and more removed from the Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment philosophy and British and European culture upon which this country was founded.

But at the end of the day, there isn’t much to say about another Laborite who achieved very little, other than to play his small part in steering Australia into the deepest debt it has ever incurred.

Thus we leave it up to the Simpsons’ Reverend Lovejoy, who gave this beautifully underwhelming speech at the funeral of Maude Flanders, punctuated by Homer Simpson’s punchline, to articulate whatever.
