Talking Aussie Politician Makes Complete @SS of himself

One of our senior government ministers has just made a complete @SS of himself delivering a speech to the national press club. Sounded great until someone realized they had heard it before. Turns out one of his speech writers lifted it (almost word for word) from a scene in the Michael Douglas movie An American President. scary to think people this stupid could be involved in running a country
