A disturbance in the Force - Matthew Cossey moves on

I hear that the Liberal’s secretary Andrew Heath? is also leaving (pushed). Apparently he was a good administrator but a hopless political/campaign operator.

A left faction member… did he jump before he was pushed?

Secretary is voted by the rank and file rather than the parliamentary party so he wouldn’t have been affected by the change in the balance of power from the election, and I would think he would have been pretty safe if he’d wanted to continue in the role.

+1

I think he’s done a great job especially in terms of how well the administrative aspect of the office has progressed.

Probably couldn’t stand the smell of bullshit coming from Stanhope’s office any longer.

They also make things that make it easier to track and target those people you wish to kill.

amongst others… they are a defence supplier, they manufacture radar, radio and firing systems.

and they have a massive presence at Tidbinbilla tracking station… as a part of the NASA space program.

Ohhhhhhhh.

Hopefully his government relations work won’t be at the local level, then.

I just googled them and still don’t understand what they do. 🙁
