You BUGgers out there can consider yourself lucky that you weren’t in the judges’ room when they were preparing this week’s Xcrements columns.

One of our judges fancies himself as a bit of a Malcolm Fraser impersonator – he’s a bit rusty, we can tell you but won’t say that to his face! – so when he and the other judges were rewatching Sunday’s ABC Insiders‘ agreeathon between David Speers and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor to pick the week’s finalists, he thought Taylor was doing his very best Fraser impersonation as well, which led our judge to continually shout in Fraserspeak: “We must fight inflation first!” and “The Labor Party would spend, spend, spend!” as Taylor explained why the Albanese government had to go back to basics and spend less and more.

Yes, we know …. Taylor very rarely makes sense unless he’s busy feathering his own family’s nest so let’s roll the tape and show you what some of our Xcretas had to spray about his performance.

We think Johny Miller just about summed things up…

… as did Sahah Adatia.

We’ll tell you something, Sahah and Jonny. If Chalmers can goad Taylor into daily televised debates during the five to six weeks of the next federal election campaign, our judges will put their life savings (it’s no great big risk, mind) on an easy Labor victory. Taylor – the “G” in Angus is silent – is a dead-set goose.

Some lass by the name of Sally McManus summed up Taylor’s pitch as neatly as those two Xers, namely that if the bosses’ parties, the LNP, get back in, industrial workplace improvements for workers these past few years will be rolled back and any further workers’ pay rises will be opposed at every turn.

Here’s Sally in conversation with Kos Samaras!

Before we leave Taylor’s uninsightful appearance on Insiders, here’s Allan Green dissecting what Angus with the silent “G” had to say on the LNP’s election-losing pitch for nuclear power.

Sticking with Aunty a bit longer, The Big Ship and jchimself voided their mental bowels on who the national broadcaster thought would be a dynamic duo to present Weekend Breakfast a few days back.
