According to Duncan Kerr, he was “abused by Mr. Ellis personally in the street in vituperative terms”.
Encountering Duncan Kerr as our paths crossed, I said ” I see you’re out of Coward’s Castle”.
He stopped briefly and when we were face to face I said ” You are a disgrace”.
He began to scuttle away at speed, no doubt planning what brave things he would say when once again in the bosom of parliamentary privilege.
I offered my observation again to the departing Man of the People, who was looking decidedly unhappy.
Miserable even.
A miserable Kerr.
Duncan Kerr’s comments were made in Federal Parliament and reported today in Mercury, HERE:
He said his comments were intended to strengthen the accountability of the legal system and he accused Mr Ellis of “shooting the messenger”.
“I was also abused by Mr Ellis personally in the street in vituperative terms,” Mr Kerr said yesterday in the House of Representatives.
“So a private citizen might feel somewhat abashed at the prospect of risking entry into a debate regarding what is fundamentally a matter of importance that is entitled to be entered into by every citizen.”
