Treasurer Costello makes jokes in Parliament

One of many classic laughing moments by Federal Treasurer Peter Costello, who makes jokes about an ALP member who should put a brown paper bag over his head.

Federal Parliament 2pm sitting 13/8/2007

Peter Costello has resigned after the Liberal election defeat, and will be missed by those who enjoyed his many laughing moments in Parliament.

thank god he was not the education minister

It's still a worry with DILLARD as minister in charge of being role-models for our country and our future. Dillard sets a rotten example for our country's children.

@CanberraUser now shes our PM.

[CanberraUser]

Roadrunnerz45 yes, and that makes the situation a whole lot worse. The feminists are having a bigger ball than ever now.......all their Christmases have come at once.

Rudd will be sweating when Costello becomes opposition leader.

[HSimon1981]

The Treasurer should be referring to Wayne Swan as the Member for Lilley.

Only in Australian parliment do we see this kind of thing

[Duxaization]

@CanberraUser actually that's not true. The feminist movement is involved in holding positions of power that men do, and are able to successfully fulfill their roles like any other. Gillard stabbed Rudd in the back and has made a mess of Australia that this has severely harmed the view of Gillard. This has harmed the feminist movement since, it can be perceived that she needed to knife Rudd to get the top job, which is the last thing the feminist movement needs.

@CanberraUser ooooh dillard... you pun-maker you

[raff23]

@strikeforcefreedom10 not when paul keating was around, keating tore him to shreds many times for exposing him as the weak gutless politician that he was.

[strikeforcefreedom10]

A.... hahahahahahahaha

SauronsEye, chair sniffing is not worth cutting down the trees to make the paper to waste the ink to write the complaint about such a thing. So God-damn trivial it's laughable.

I mean.....sniffing a chair? Are you saying it's OK to sniff a table, or a book, or a pen, or a computer monitor — yet it is a national scandal to sniff a CHAIR?!!!!!!!!!!

[mockingbird83]

@CanberraUser the fact you can even consider chair sniffing a 'habit' beggars belief. Typical of a liberal supporter i suppose. You'd be believe the sun goes around the earth if it meant holding onto your recalcitrant Conservative opinions.
