Bolt has managed to drum up all of his monkeys into a genuine tizzy by tangling together some of their nastiest boogeymen – a strong woman (who doesn’t hunt moose), judicial (or, in this case, executive) activism, “contemporary values”, and Teh Left. So, they launch into a scathing critique of our new Governor-General – starting with Andrew himself, as he stoops to new levels of idiocy.
By the way, Andrew – I don’t want to scare you even more, but this is wrong:

The ultimate guardian of the Constitution? I would argue that it’s these folks over here – even this one. Try to keep your head from exploding.
“The ultimate guardian of the Constitution? I would argue that it’s these folks over here – even this one. Try to keep your head from exploding.”
Yeh but then you will rile up Planet Janet with the “Activist judges” line
She and Andrew can get as riled up as they like – the fact remains that the High Court’s role is to ensure that the Parliament and the Government’s actions are consistent with the Constitution.
