Western Australia's chair-sniffing Opposition leader Troy Buswell has displayed the behaviour of both a fool and dinosaur. Such actions in the workplace nowadays would earn a man the sack. Why has he not been summarily dismissed by his own party. In allowing him to stay incumbent his colleagues expose themselves as fools equal to him.

Today's public do not want numbskulls such as these for their state government. Would visiting female leaders of state feel comfortable about vacating a chair when he was in the room? Honesty and politics may not go hand in hand but decorum and politics must be inseparable.
