"Use cattle prod on unemployed", says politician

... in Australia.

An Australian politician has used his first speech to parliament to call for unemployed idlers to be stung with a cattle prod to get them to work.
John Williams, a former truck driver, shearer, farmer and small business owner who only took his place in the Senate on July 1, said he had seen many people living on employment benefits who were "determined not to work".

"They are simply getting a free ride on behalf of tax payers of Australia and it is about time they received a touch on the backside with a cattle prodder to get them off their butts and actually do some work," he said.

We might get him to run , but with most of PG and Baltimore needing that cattle prod to work, I doubt we could get him elected.

In this country, that'd be branded as hate speech, he'd be labeled as a racist, and Jesse and Al would be calling for his firing from whatever job he has, as well as blocking him from running for public office.
