BUT all that aside, how on earth does one explain his spectacular flip flop on the ETS? And his voting with the coalition to reject an inquiry (into an issue on which Abbott had been declaring "sunlight is the only disinfectant" to get to Teh Truth), when it is Fielding who's been wanting inquiry after inquiry on issue after issue without looking for some kind of political motive? just sayin'. *restores groupthink*

I think it's pretty evident now that Fieldng is playing to the Libs and the AGW wingnuts in the hope of gaining Liberal party preferences to give himself the best chance at the next election.

Do you think the Engineering faculty at RMIT is collectively holding their heads and swearing at whatever moron allowed Fielding to graduate and forever besmirch the university's credibility?
