I think a pseudo academic post at UC working on health reform would be a nice way for the big fella to ease into retirement…..

Yes, on drug and alcohol comorbidity. Comorbid with a lack of apparent talent or usefulness.

Good riddance. He hasn’t done anything in 5+ years and before that did nothing but f***k everything up. He should have been gone long ago. Whoever voted for him at the last election should be taken out the back and shot.

Lets set off the fireworks and have a few drinks. I thought Hargraves “retired” a few years ago. And why has he announced a random public servant as his successor? I think a pseudo academic post at UC working on health reform would be a nice way for the big fella to ease into retirement…..

I see from the picture in the CT today that Mr Hargreaves is a rabid Collingwood supporter.
If he had declared this at election times (as he should have) I would have never voted for him.
Wonder if he has a job lined up at the UN in New York like that other drink driving Labor MLA John Langmore did. I am sure there is a Labor sinecure for him out there somewhere (ANU, CU perhaps?)

I’ll see your Tharwa, GDE, fireworks, Grassby statue, Fringe Festival, DUI and raise with his responsibility for the rise of Andrew Barr and Joy Burch.

The list is getting quite long.

Loved it when, as Transport Minister (and former Police Minister), he got done for DUI. He said that he’d only had about six glasses of wine at a post-Budget event, and thought he’d still be OK to drive. Upon being asked what he intended to do, he said that he’d just have to catch cabs for a while, and then he observed: “You can never get a cab in Canberra.”

Maybe he should have written a letter to himself to complain.

What’s even funnier is that he was caught not long after he had just put an extra 30 or so cabs on the road.
