Hasn’t anyone yet noticed that it is NOT just a podium, but that there is always a (separate) perspex “wall” behind him, with the new election logo and slogan on it? (See the photo you posted above.)

It is definitely separate to the podium, because, in a press conference parts of which were screened on Bondi+ today, it was actually supported by a brick or two.

I’ve seen photos of that f*cking teleprompter (and podium, obviously) even in Nadur when he was addressing the press at the Belveder a couple of days ago. Such a stately location, isn’t it?

I’m starting to think he needs that podium everywhere. Gone are the days of going ‘fuq it-tron’…

He ‘s got Marion Mizzi to take care of that now.

Joseph does look a bit like Benny Hill and Kurt reminds me of the bald little old man who was slapped on his head a lot.

Half the population are suckers, so might they be related to Stephen?
