WHAT is it with the latest fad for politicians to Twitter?
Just why anyone wants to read the random thoughts of celebrities, let alone a pollie, is a mystery.
Agriculture minister Tony Burke is one of the growing band of pollies to join the social networking craze involving posting text messages on the web.
Recently, thanks to Twitter, we learned that Tony had bought a new iPod and was now loading it with Christmas carols.
Thanks Tony, the country is all the better for knowing that.
