Fearing a rejuvenation in the rank eyes of optimistic scepticism toward the Australian Labor Party, the Coalition have set themselves up for a little disharmony. Clanging around their party walls is the issue over abortion and the prospective rights and warrants to vacuum suck a near legal being into death.
Splitting legs like an eagle's wings, Senator Ron Boswell, of the hick spit Nationals, reignited the fire under the billy can when he nudged the Federal Health Minister, Tony Abbott. Talks then spilled and spread across the dinner table, the parents casting stern eyebrows at the kids playing much too messily in the public eye. Half of the Brady's were looking at the other half, one side talking, the other resigning their brains to the heap preferring to let others decide the fate of foetuses.
Raring to go for at least a few more days, the debate on the debate will hold the Liberals and Nationals back again in the forefront of the media and nation's mind. An act set to clear fell the victory lap dance Kim Beazley administered to himself following the news of his disappointing reappointment as the Labor leader.
