They thunder, they stomp, they rejoice, they lament, they shout, they cackle, they cry! There’s never a non-emotional moment in the lives of Australia’s right-wing old man brigade, whose sense of restraint lost all capacity during the last decade.

Only one of them, however, can reign as our leading harbinger of doom. Only one can stand above all others as the king of the crazies, while the others look on and ask, “when was he retiring again?” In the search for this nation’s most unhinged agitator, let the CrikeyPoll decide!
