'Shadow minister' would mean he is a minister hiding within the shadow of a taxpayer trough. The only good politicians, from what we can tell, are the Senators who are gently lubricating CASA and Beakers sphincters for the mother of all pineapples (we hope).
As for the rest of the politicians, they are all bottom dwelling parasites who host on the taxpayers. A protected species in which cleverly tailored laws, morals, ethics and privileges wrap around them while the rest of us get shat on.
And as for those trough dwelling Pollies I speak of, that may be reading this thread as UITA pointed out, I have a special two word comment for you........
