There's a lot to choose from, but our three nominees this week are:
- Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, who turned up late to a debate with his opposition counterpart Nicola Roxon, thus showing he has no respect for her or for the process.
- Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, who implied that dying unionist Bernie Banton was a crook. Banton is dying because of his employer (aspestos poisoning) and was instrumental in getting compensation out of those monstrous crooks at James Hardie.
- Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, for announcing that the long-awaited federal takeover of Mersey Hospital in northern Tasmania would not go ahead this week as planned, thus handing the seats of Braddon and Bass over to Labor.
And the winner is...
A THREE WAY TIE
Yes, it's so hard to decide which of our three nominees deserves the award this week, so I've given it to all three. Tony, Tony and Tony can now bask in the glow of this award as the only high point of what I'd otherwise call a spectacularly fucked-up week for him. I'd feel sorry for him, but it's Tony Abbott, which means I want him to fuck off and die in a ditch.
More fuckwads next week.
