VIDEO: Bloody Idiot of the Week — Episode 08: The empathy edition

By | | comments |
Cartoon by Mark David / @MDavidCartoons

Should we just go around dishing out empathy willy-nilly? 

Leading by example, three Coalition ministers and one ex-director of the Australian Christian Lobby give their personal and heartfelt opinions on the true cost of empathy and who really deserves it.

This week Andrew Hastie, Lyle Shelton, Barnaby Joyce and Scott Morrison do their well-funded best.

As an unfunded bonus, there is also a special cameo performance from that golden oldie that never disappoints, Tony Abbott.
