Thanks to a remark he left on OzComments I have discovered the entertaining blog of Matt “not the cricketer” Hayden enticingly titled Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die.

He writes more wittily than I could ever hope to do about current political topics. I don’t think he’s from Perth, but he’s well across West Australian politics, including the current chair-sniffing and top-lifting incidents.

Overseas readers may even be aware the State Opposition leader Troy Buswell was exposed for sniffing a woman’s chair and thinking it a great laugh.

Matt covers the topic from a clever angle: “I think there’s one other party in this farcical episode who has been entirely forgotten and who deserves far more sympathy than either — namely, the chair. Poor thing. Probably sitting in some dingy bar somewhere, completely legless …”

He also touched on the South Australian record filibuster, which I meant to get around to commenting on.
