Flop and fizzle

| More

I caught bits and pieces of the Motion to Adjourn last night, and while lively, the Premier - who always speaks last - never seemed to build any momentum in his comments, which were mostly on the topic of the Medical Clinic and race.

On the Medical Clinic, I'm not quite sure what point the Premier was trying to make, other than to attempt and discredit Louise Jackson and Grant Gibbons. His response however was mostly recycled misdirection and amounted to little more than Flop and Fizzle.

Likewise on race, with lots of self-congratulatory talk about initiating the "Big Conversation".

Earlier on the Motion to Adjourn, Louise Jackson and Pat Gordon Pamplin of the UBP had provided lively contributions on the Medical Clinic and race which were typically heckled loudly. By the time the Premier spoke it was late and hard to maintain the intensity after a number of other speakers had taken their feet.

The Gazette will have the summary on Monday I presume.
