I agree. Mal Brough seemed the real deal. He really believed in the 'Intervention' and appeared to be working well with the people within the communities in the Territory, by-passing the Land councils and talking to the poor buggers copping the fallout from the booze, petrol and drugs.


Shame Costello's pulled the pin, the Abbott and Costello comedy duo would have been good for a laugh.
Funny comment in yesterdays SMH was that if Labor won, The Mad Monk (Tony Abbott) would become Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs so they could get him out of the country more often.

Apparently Alex "Whinnie the Pooh" Downer still harbours leadership ambitions, and if anyone ever saw the 'Australian Story' story on him some months back, he really hates Rudd and seems to want to have a good crack at him. I'm unsure where the antipathy comes from, but he couldn't hide it at all.

So, the leadership stoush could include Turnbull (who has already thrown his hat into the ring) Abbott and Downer.

Anyone think of any one else that would have a bash at probably 6 years in opposition ?

My guess, Turnbull

Or maybe Joe Hockey

I have thought for a while now that Howard was setting up Brendan Nelson to take over from him. I would be surprised if he didn't throw his hat in the ring.

Or perhaps he is smart enough to realise that this is hardly an important issue at the moment.

Hey Paul,

I love your quote, never thought of it that way.
In our Caravanning forum, Jeep and Land Rover owners are looked on as being odd!
The fight is Tojo versus Nissan(Renault )
Boy are they bad, nearly as bad as the Falcodore mob

good point, forgot about Brendan. He's also been known to harbour leadership ambitions.

I don't think Joe Hockey would even get any numbers up. While he seems like a good bloke, he doesn't appear to be a big enough political mongr..., err animal to push his barrow like Howard is/was, and in the party they question his work ethic, purely as he likes to see his family.

Yep have to agree.
I like his going away speak how he left the country prosperous etc etc.
Well I must have missed out. I work my **** off and as a family man struggle.
Not saying Rudd going to be any better, but I felt a bit richer today some how. May be, just maybe, I won't have to " Squeal Like a pig" any more if you get the drift.
