Hey Mate, Don't know the guy, or anything about him, but you sound as though you know what you are talking about. At the end of the day, he's a politician, and the politician does not exist, has never existed and most likely WILL never exist, who was not a self serving, self promoting git with an eye permanently on the main chance. But ! The caution in the tale...... at least you still have politicians in Australia, who for whatever reason will make decisions based on the best interest of the Australian people. In Britain, we have lived through the "Blair years" as that sanctimonious git sold us down the river, made us the most filmed populace on earth and feathered his own nest, and that of his channel tunnell mouthed wife, to the tune of millions whilst bankrupting and taxing the rest of us to death ( or bloody close to it ). Oh! In case anyone thinks "sore loser" I have been a Labour party supporter since i was 18. I am now 54 and pssd off !! Aye, another moaning faced Scot. Cheerio!
