Kevin Andrews - Quote of the Week
I heard this pearler last week - would've posted on it at the time but it took a while for the ABC to upload the transcript.
In response to a question about a submission written by 150 academics (professors and associate professors who are specialists in business and industrial relations), Kevin Andrews gave this pearler of a reply:
"You know, a group of academics is no substitute for commonsense proposals."
I just love the way that conservative governments constantly portray intellectuals and academics as some sort of snobby, unrealistic, head-in-the-clouds elite, thereby enabling them to dismiss them out of hand. Don't you?
