STEVE Fielding has revealed he supports a woman’s right to abortion on demand.
The admission will shock many of the Family First senator’s Christian supporters, including the ultra-conservative Assemblies of God Church, from which his party grew.
Senator Fielding, 47, said in a wide-ranging interview that he believed it was a woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.
He is certainly abusing his power (not to mention the dignity of his office!) and I am beginning to think I’d even prefer as a Labor supporter to have a Liberal Senator in office rather than him.
Hmmm. Yet he opposed removing restrictions on RU486, using a convoluted logic around the differing responsibilities of burocracy and elected representatives that I still have difficulty grasping.
See, Liam, that’s where you’re wrong. The most interesting thing about politics is the person who by rights should not be there and who behaves randomly, unpredictably, and could fuck things up at any moment out of sheer spite and eccentricity. I have a massive soft spot for Barnaby Joyce for the same reason. There’s nothing more ace than opening the paper and reading about some NT politician’s UFO sightings or propensity to dress up as a refrigerator, or Kerry Nettle’s latest t-shirt slogan (vale), or campaign pictures of Xenophon riding a small dodgem car to victory, or Sandra Kanck trying to legalise ecstasy in SA to a chorus of horror from her own party, or Liberals in the far west sniffing each others’ chairs, or a Labor minister from NSW mounting the chest of a mature-aged colleague in a g-string, or Brendan Nelson sharing his collection of motorcycles with the proviso that we ‘don’t tell his wife!’, or most of the things that come out of Bill Heffernan’s mouth, or Michael Costa’s ambitions to become a barista, or Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and especially Steve Fielding’s wondrous home video collection which I sincerely encourage you to peruse at your leisure.
Bless you, Steven, you crazy freak. The real test of your mettle will be the industrial relations legislation. Hold out for better conditions for outworkers and I’ll be yours for life.
Yeah, I’m with you on Michael Costa. I had a serious love-hate thing going with that magnificent arse-clown. And I’d totally make a day trip to the Southern Highlands to buy a drink at his cafe, so that he can give me the finger and tell me to go and fuck myself.
Fielding, well, that’s just a bridge too far for me.

Indeed, Arleeshar. I’m with Guy. I honestly would prefer a card-carrying Tory to this idiot.
