Angus Taylor condemned Anzac Day hecklers while questioning the frequency of Welcome to Country ceremonies, with Barnaby Joyce and 3AW's Tom Elliott piling on.
Taylor condemns the jeering and in the same breath asks whether the ceremony should happen at all — the political equivalent of putting out a fire while quietly questioning whether the building was worth saving. Barnaby reckons the dead don't need welcoming. Mate, they're not the ones being welcomed. The living are, to a country older than Gallipoli by about sixty thousand years.
