Everything the guy says just sounds so insincere, it's hard to believe anything he says. I know he's a politician but he'd be the last guy I'd ever call a straight shooter.

After seeing this vid, I went through and watched a bunch of vids of previous Australian politicians over the years. Paul Keating came across as a point-scorer in the debating chamber, loving to hear himself speak. Even more than most politicians.

Bob Hawke and John Howard are conservative old farts...the only one that seemed rather constructive and earnest was Gillard even looking across the spectrum back as far as Hawke.
