Lack of ‘compassion' shown for Adam Bandt
Menzies Research Centre Nick Cater says it is a 'terrific move' from the Australian people for kicking Greens leader Adam Bandt out of parliament.
'I'm trying, Rita, to show the necessary compassion that one should always show to somebody who loses their job suddenly, but I'm struggling, I have to admit it,' Mr Cater told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
'Shout-out to Advance, they did play a major role behind the scenes in this exercise.
'They really have become a powerful force for good in political debate.
'Great to see the people on the conservative centre right do something really well.'

‘Where does it end?': Australia's sanctions on Israeli ministers slammed
Former foreign minister Alexander Downer discusses Australia's decision to put sanctions on two Israeli ministers. 'There have been various offers of two-state solutions to the Palestinians from 1948 onwards, and they have always rejected those offers,' Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
