In which the leader of the opposition party in Australia attacks the Prime Minister for wearing a 'Joy Division' T-Shirt.

Two thoughts
1. This seems a fairly desperate ploy by Ley, who is in a weak position in her party

2. Politicians of different flavours sometimes get precious about artistic expression, insinuating it mean something other than it does. It annoys me whoever is doing it.

e.g. Were the members of Joy Division actually Nazis or sympathetic to their beliefs? No? Well then your point is stupid.
