Comedian Tom Ballard has posted a YouTube video that challenges statements made by writer Miranda Devine in her latest column that was published in Sunday newspapers across the country.
In her opinion piece in News Ltd Sunday papers, including Perth’s Sunday Times, the conservative columnist draws a link between gay Finance Minister Penny Wong’s announcement that her partner is expecting a baby, the push for marriage equality and the recent London riots.

In his response video Triple J Breakfast host Ballard works his way through Devine’s piece challenging her beliefs and assertions, regularly asking, ‘What the fuck?’
