'Steve' Gulaptis the Glove Puppet rises to his feet for the first time after being sworn in and it's not for a traditional maiden speech which might finally explain to the House and the electorate what he's all about.
No, {drum roll} it's to ask a Dorothy Dixer of the Minister.
I see he's also appointed to a Coalition-dominated portfolio standing committee created in June 2011 on which his alter ego, the former MP for Clarence, sat before resigning in disgrace.
