Ted O’Brien who honestly – just why? – just got booted from the chamber by Milton Dick for offering to punch on with Jim Chalmers.

We assume he was joking when he threw up his fists in response to Dick telling Chalmers and him to take their debate outside, because O’Brien is from the Sunshine Coast and Chalmers is from Logan. And as a Gold Coast girl, who grew up in the era of earrings off, rings up (IYKYK) Logan trumps Sunshine Coast in a brawl. Any day of the week. I mean I went to Nerang High and even I would have hesitated from wading into a Logan brawl.

Also O’Brien looks like someone molded Scott Morrison out of bread, so that man shouldn’t be trying to fight anyone.
