70% lawyers is worse than 70% union officials

Rebuttal of John Howard's ridiculous claim that having worked on behalf of working people disqualifies you from running for government. Australia already has an unprecedented unbalanced Federal Government. Its the current one and its full of lawyers (and the occasional banker).

Ok I think I need to make the point that this video was my first ever YouTube attempt and I was very much using irony to make my point. Whilst I still think that lawyers are overrepresented in Parliament I should also note that there are a number of very good lawyers out there. Peter Russo and Julian Burnside come to my mind and some good friends of mine are lawyers.

how can the wanker who made this otherwise footage draw the conclusion that lawyers and bankers are out of touch? ok so Joe macdonald and his henchmen are not? so Union officials are up to date? aging rockstars and former news readers and journos are all up to scratch? get a life ffs

Dear "impolite" poster. The point is that if the Liberal Party can use reductivism to claim that if one has any sort of Union affiliation that makes you only a Unionist and nothing else and therefore non-representative and therefore not fit to govern. Then so can I by pointing out that most of the Coalition frontbench have a law degree.

Interesting all these comments about what is wrong with lawyers. Nothing is wrong with lawyers, in the appropriate amount. My spoof was a rebuttal on the Libs failed ad about Labor pollies having union backgrounds pointing out the legal connection behind pretty much every Coalition front-bencher. BTW the Coalition lost and this is the first time I have even been bothered to come check out these posts. So it seems like a case of sour grapes from Liberal supporters to me.

"This time we won't be fooled"...so true mate, Australians finally looked behind the curtain and saw the wizard wasn't so flash. With the calibre of opposition leaders, the liberals will remain in opposition for many years to come, where they belong.

New projects ? Fast Broadband ? Renewable Energy ? Not many Engineers or Builders.

11 years of No Hope Howard, what were we thinking ?

Build Australia ?

A forrest of laws and no trees.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Is all I have to say to you liberal supporters. For once the people of Australia showed we aint gonna take it anymore. Howard has ridden a wave of good fortune for too long. Lets all remember the PM who lost his seat.

Sure, we should be very glad they have legal training - trained to lie, obscure facts, and win their case at all costs.

[drallew1]

As are Governments.
