Melbourne kids form The Children’s Party to take on Canberra — The Herald Sun
Just what we need, more kiddies in Canberra. What we’re dealing with here are the intellectually and emotionally challenged sock puppet children of their equally intellectually and emotionally challenged parents. Note the all knowing, conceited, sneering and smug, down the nose posture.
