Decrepit old truss-wearing backbencher Wilson Tuckey reckons deputy PM Julia Gillard sounds like ‘Kath’ from Kath and Kim:

Tuckey has yelled “Look at moi” across the chamber at Ms Gillard every day this week… Mr Tuckey, who was thrown out of Question Time yesterday over an unrelated matter, vowed to keep up the interjections. “If you want Kath to run the Government, you should vote for her,” the West Australian backbencher said.

For the life of me I just can’t work out which TV comedy character Wilson Tuckey reminds me of. Oh, hang on…

Wilson Tuckey is a cockhead — I don’t think there’s any debate about that — but you’ve got to give points to a good joke regardless of who speaks it. Here’s Tuckey cracking a good one in Parliament today.

He’s still a cockhead, but.

It’s been a while since we announced a nomination for un-Australian of the year but there’s been no more worthy recipient than Wilson Tuckey.

Dr Nelson was… forced to defend Liberal MP Wilson Tuckey, who walked out of Parliament before today’s apology to indigenous Australians.

The West Australian MP was in the house for the opening prayer, but left the chamber when Mr Rudd rose to his feet to deliver the apology.

A number of other coalition MPs were absent from the chamber or late arriving.

Mr Tuckey had earlier suggested saying sorry would do nothing for solving indigenous problems.

On what constituents would think of Mr Tuckey’s behaviour, Dr Nelson said: “Every member of the Parliament, whatever side of the house that he or she is from, is ultimately answerable to the people of Australia.”
