Ironic that Simon Sheikh had been calling for the resignation of Zed when he himself was in hot waters over trying to sign up people during lectures at ANU

How is that ironic?

Yep. As I suspected. It’s not even slightly ironic. Not even in the Morrisettean sense.

ahhh this is the “Sheikh” who could / but then couldn’t remember if / when he was a paid up member of the Labor party.

…and the same Sheikh, who informed Canberra he worked for “Treasury” …… that was later discovered he worked for NSW Treasury.

That kind of career at any cost mentality has – in my view – delivered us a bunch of sh*t throwing monkeys in our parliaments.

Sandpit politics (uni) –> protest placard intelligence (activism) –> dogmatic brainwashing (party staffer) –> faeces throwing contest (federal parliament)

I’d much prefer to see professionals with experience in their field from a variety of backgrounds.

….. next time the Greens throw up a candidate …… why not give Al a go? At a minimum he is local and hard working.

Sheikh was recently spotted in the Canberra Centre wearing a Brumbies Jumper.

What are the chances he was a big fan of the Brumbies back in the late 90’s or even in 2001 when they cleaned up???

Probably about nil.

Call me Mr Cynical but Sheikh probably converted to the Brumbies roughly the time he decided to run for an ACT senate seat.

But they make great bread, and their pull-aparts are to die for, so who can blame him for wearing one of their tops.

It would be nice if a candidate bothered to live in the regions he’s meant to represent….

With the second part of the Whitlam documentary having aired last night, I would be most interested to hear whether Simon would be prepared to block a Coalition Budget in an attempt to stop further job cuts in Canberra.

It would also be good to hear his views on why it’s essential for DisabilityCare to be headquartered in Geelong, rather than Canberra (assuming that Simon would be fiercely opposed to any decentralisation plans from a Coalition Government) and to know whether (and if so, why) he thinks that the job and other cuts to spending in Canberra thus far implemented by the Gillard Government are OK. Last, but not least, in the miraculous event that Gillard is re-elected, what would Simon do to stop any further cuts by Labor.
