Little Georgie Brandis can't so his sums

This was Libs Senator George Brandis on ABC TV Q&A Monday 24th June 2013:

“As everybody - as Graham Richardson and Judith Sloane have pointed out, abortion has not been in issue in this country for more than a decade.” 

More than a decade? No, no, no, Georgie!

Abortion was still a big issue in 2006 when the then Health Minister Tony Abbott fought to keep the drug RU486 from Australian women.

On 9th February that year Georgie told the Senate that he was voting in defence of Abbott's move.

Even using his fingers to count Brandis must be able to reach the number 7 for the years since then.
