Every time we see the Labor Party do a deal a tune starts going through my head, and it is from Monty Python's Life of Brian. We have Bob Brown, who is like the leader of the Judean People's Front: 'What have the Romans done for us? What has the mining industry done for us? Oh, aqueducts, kept us out of recession, supported our standard of living. What have the Romans done for us?' Terry Jones is obviously Tony Windsor: 'He's not the Messiah; he's just a naughty boy.' He is out the front there but is not the Messiah. They are just naughty boys.
