State Politician of the Month

This month's State Politican of the Month is Ian Hunter, who bears the noble crown previously awarded on this website to Ann Bressington and Sandra Kanck. Go South Australian politics.

I found this in The Advertiser, no snidey pinko comment necessary because we've already said it all...

A LABOR MP has described parliamentary prayers as an "archaic practice" and a waste of time, angering fellow politicians.
Legislative Council backbencher Ian Hunter wrote a letter to The Advertiser after it was reported he was reading a book during prayers.
"Of course, as an atheist, I don't say prayers," he said.
"I see them as just one more example of an archaic practice which wastes the time of MPs.
"However, I am a polite fellow generally, and rather than cause a fuss for my colleagues who may take some comfort in such practices at the commencement of each parliamentary session, I prefer to improve my mind by reading."

Go Ian Hunter!

Hi Sandra!

This is not a dream. This really happened.

Sandra Kanck is a favourite politician of mine. She supports euthanasia, safe drug use and is against the war. She does a lot of progressive stuff. Also, at school roll call she would have been S.Kanck, which is pretty cool too.
So anyway, the other day I was a bar wench at a function. I have always wanted to be a barmaid, so this was pretty fun. It was like, one for you... one for me... one for you... two for me. So anyway Sandra Kanck comes up to the bar, which sounds like the start of a brilliant Irish joke. So anyway Sandra Kanck comes up to the bar. And I was like "Hiiiii Sandra!!!!" and introduced myself. She looked a bit surprised, like she doesn't usually get that sort of rock star response. She said hello back and things, and then she sort of looked at me in a serious way. Then she said "do you have anything with no carbs in it?" I didn't even know you could get carbs in alcohol, because I don't pay much attention to crappy food fads. So I said "I don't know..." so she asked for water or orange juice. I really wanted to offer a joint but I didn't really have one, so I didn't ask in case she said yes. And that, dear reader, is my Sandra Kanck story.
