Something for the remix

Proving that nothing is too low for the Liberal Party, here is a massive abuse of Parliamentary Privilege in the Senate.  It does little to disprove Paul Keating's dismissal of the red chamber as unrepresentative swill.

My ideas for this video follow below.


There's a lot of unintended poetry here.  Lots of incantation -- were the content not so sad and childish, Senator Fisher could well be contributing to a new school of thrash poetry in this country.  What an abhorrent wallowing in self-pity, although that more or less sums up the way the Liberals are conducting themselves these days.  What would Menzies say?

Since the words in this spray were clearly chosen to emphasize rhythm and sonority, would someone kindly turn it into a techno track with a mesmerizing bass?

Could some choreographer take the second half of the rant to come up with a few new moves for the dance clubs?

Is there an enterprising drag queen out there waiting for a new character?  Here's the one you've been waiting for.  Stardom awaits you.

Perhaps a grunge band could take the words as they stand and turn them into a paean of modern ennui?

There's lots of scope to make a Pauline Pantsdown-style remix so that the good Senator ends up saying something comprehensible.  Let's hope Triple-J is ready to give it plenty of play.

Whoever suggested this might be a good thing to do in public should be returned forthwith to Fox News.

Senator, if you're looking for better advice, do contact me and I'd be glad to send you my CV.
