Koel-call
-
verb
When a [public servant] or politician demonises those who require the assistance of the publicly funded social safety net to survive, and yet seems oblivious to their own parasitic existence.
From the native [Australasian] bird, the Eastern [Koel] (Eudynamys orientalis) which has a piercing and strangely seductive call, but is also a brood parasite to smaller birds.
