Nelson’s Law
named in honour of australian conservative politician, brendan nelson –
“as a debate about the economy continues, the probability of the increasing price of petrol at the bowser being mentioned by a non-government politician approaches one.”
it is considered a disingenuous debating technique, -n-logous to g-dwin’s law, unless the person raising the price of petrol is actually proposing a genuine alternative.
corollary: athanasi’s observation – the gap between a political discussion commencing and nelson’s law being demonstrated decreases over time.
ending every media release with a disingenuous reference to the cost of “getting petrol into the car” is an example of nelson’s law.
