Farewell Ted

cunning.

Bonfire – you forgot Mr Hargreaves, what’s he like?

i agree thumper – and so do qlds voters. although given the mess the alp is in up there, who knows.

i have never voted for any liberals in the assembly. nor have i voted for john howard.

interesting that you assume that because i dont fawningly acclaim the non-achievements and spin of your cult/party that i must therefore be A LIBERAL SUPPORTER.

you must just love adversarial politics. that way you can just oppose someones ideas because THEY ARE LIBERALS.

what if the liberals have good ideas ? do you say – hey great idea – or do you just shuffle obligingly like a sullen soylent green consuming sheep into attack of the opposition mode.

at least peter beattie pinches the good ideas of his opposition.

Interesting choice of words…Liberal supporter?
As to being invisible, what does the sand look like from your perspective…with your head so firmly in it, it must be difficult to see much else!

if i was feeling threatened id make demands that a certain gender or ethnicity receive special treatment.

if i was dubious, id point out that an ideologue with a vagina is just as inept as an ideologue without one.

id also point out that the current crop of alp female assembly members aint doing you proud.

my one word summary of alp assembly members:

berry – principled.
corbell – incompetent
gallagher – shifty
gentleman – invisible
macdonald – invisible
porter – befuddled
quinlan – tired
stanhope – icarus

im sure that the faceless men are preparing to assemble at the kingo to determine stanhopes new caucus.

with such a limited talent pool, perhaps the chief cabbage will pick up another portfolio.

do i doubt that women are up to the job in politics ? no – but the ones you currently have representing the alp in the act arent.

Is someone feeling threatened? Don’t worry there will always be a place in politics for men but it’s time that women were better represented. Katy does a wonderful job and is not afraid to take responsibility when it is warranted. Karin could only benefit the Ministry and the Canberra community!

oh yeah, katy gallaghers a shining beacon of capability and accountability. more wymmin please.

It is about time that Karin MacDonald was moved into the Ministry. She has worked hard for canberra on Committees and as Government Whip and we certainly need a second woman’s perspective on the Front Bench.

he did the right thing in leaving…pity nobody investigated his covering up of cooking the books during his time in ACTEWAGL to cover for his boss.
