I mean, wild, crazy, exaggerated he may be, but it is very authentic.
Nobody's written those lines for him, right?

You know, one of the problems with politics, this is really a big problem with the Labor Party, this problem with both parties, but the big problem with Labor is that there are very few people there with any business experience, much life's experience.
