Men would rather hit themselves in the face with a hammer than do the work and/or get the therapy that would help them grow into someone women actually want to be with. It is truly mind-boggling.

Already a fawning profile of Angus Taylor from James Massola in The Age.
Angus Taylor is the right person at the right time for the Liberal - the perfect choice to lead them into oblivion. #spill #libspill
