Watch and weep

I cannot understand how this man ever got a law degree. And he's one of the Coalition's major players. No wonder they're going from stuff-up to even bigger stuff-up. It's frightening.

Yesterday, he clearly said to interviewer Mia Freedman that "there is a clear link between abortion and breast cancer". Right there, on national television.
