I don’t think Carmel Sepuloni is inspiring or an amazing political communicator but at least she is polite, argues in good faith and does her best not to talk over people.

Meanwhile Nicola Willis is consistently wretched in her approach to these discussions. Listening this morning I thought that maybe my opinion of Carmel was only low because she doesn’t effectively tackle the loud antsy gish gallop coming from Willis. It would be very hard to maintain decorum and communicate effectively against that kind of effluence. Bless John Campbell for trying to maintain these conversations when they’re devolving to US style politics.

How does anyone find Willis antagonistically arguing in bad faith appealing?
