Stupid things in Australian politics
Stupid thing #1: The NSW Greens put forward a bill yesterday to prevent drunkenness in Parliament. Strangely, the bill was shot down. Hours later, NSW Labor MP Peter Black appeared in Parliament while under the afluence of incohol. (Props to Tab.)

Stupid thing #2: Pauline Hanson, former leader of white-supremist party One Nation, thinks her time in gaol shouldn't prevent her from donating blood because she was convicted on false charges. She says she's insulted at Red Cross's refusal to accept her as a donor. What the?!
