Stanhope brings peace to Cyprus? Gets cypriot to talk to him

Maybe Stanhope will be able to tell Cypriots that he’ll take the blame for what’s happening over there, so he can then spend the next two years doing all he can to not take the blame.

Standope wouldn’t know Cyprus if it bit him on the ass.

He should spend a little time there before offering his opinion, once again, where its not wanted.

You’re a glorified mayor Sonic, learn your place

does cyprus have any trees that jon might want for his arboretum?

seems a bit strange for him to be voicing an opinion, unless he needs some more drought tolerant trees to replace the wollemi pines and japanese cherry trees. (lets face it people, they either will die or get stolen….)

Cyprus has enough problems without his opinion being voiced regardless of if he supports the process or not. After all what has it got to do with him? Has he served over there with any of the previous 93 Australian Police Contingents? Has he experienced first hand the life both sides live? He is a little slow too – this has been the focus of talks between the parties since the change of government months ago.

Best he simply doesn’t say anything at all, ever.

… “not vote”

Given Mr Stanhope’s strong skills in international diplomacy and the recent (non politicially motivated….) taxpayer funded glossy brochures telling us how wonderful our local education and health systems are… how could you note vote for him in October? 😉

Maybe he is trying to beat Downer to the job….

Hasn’t Cyprus already suffered enough without Jon getting involved?
