'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Lower House, not a creature was stirring, except for Tony Abbott, though he would describe his behaviour as "defending a conservative vision for Australia".
Stop blaming Congress, start blaming victims
After a certain point, doing nothing is an implicit endorsement of the status quo.
