Then a much more inconvenient truth was revealed. In an interview with Nine News, Parker had colourfully expressed his contempt for all politicians, save one: "There’s only one person that cares about this country and that’s Pauline Hanson. Come and see us in Nelligen, Pauline. Mate, you’re unreal, you care about the country, the rest of them don’t."
When this nugget hit Twitter, it was like watching a train pull into Central Station as most of the mob got off. In the all or nothing era, St Paul can’t be part of what we hope for, he has to be with us on everything. He can’t be blemished by views that trigger delicate sensibilities.
The thing is this is an outright lie. Uhlmann has lost the plot completely.
