Not only the best argument of the debate, but the funniest, too. Nailed it.

[@revolversmoke]

"bogan babushka doll" lost it.

[@saltcots8985]

It is very impressive the way he goes from written speech to the “sort of improvised” bit halfway through.

"Weaved from the nightmares of Cory Bernardi." Fuck that's perfect

I love watching these debates because each speech is just rapid-fire brilliance from start to finish. Every sentence would have been the pride of my social history if I’d been clever enough to come up with it and could have delivered it even half as well.

how does one get to grandma in 3 generations? color me confused.

[@philsteynb]

1.Son 2. Mother 3. Grandmother...

[@adelucas4824]

If he's 27 and grandma is 57 then she was 30 when he was born which means his mom was around 15 when she had him, and grandma was around 15 when she had her.
