It will be interesting to see whether he says the same when I see him for coffee next week.
Meanwhile watch for MHS eventually joining the ALP and making a pitch for Jay's job!

Not surprisingly, since he is a politician, he didn't say the same thing this week.
The new line: "MHS was one of the best people in the Liberal Party and the one we feared becoming their leader most."

My response was: "After the previous election you said he was one of the people you were able to use to scare off the swinging voters in the marginal seats."

A quick change of subject followed - "Would you like another beer?"
Me: "If you are not offering Grange."

LOL, MHS had only ever been about MHS ...

So the Evans, Chapmans, Halls, etc, etc haven't been?

My view is that anyone who wants to be a career politician should NOT be allowed to be a politician at all.
Two terms maximum then go back to your real job with not more benefits than any other worker/employee...

That and ban Lawyers who care only about winning the debating game rather than what constitutes truth or justice.

I spoke at length with a recently elected liberal M.P. soon after it was announced he'd be a liberal candidate.
The major reason he gave up his previous high profile media job was because he could go no further with it without moving interstate.
His words "so i thought i'd take up politics"
Put me right off straight away. Its a vocation not a JOB.

I actually like your idea Psyber.

Corey Wingard wasn't that flash at his previous job anyway.

When doing courtside reporting for 36ers games on Ten would supposedly bag the NBL when his mic was off.

Ahh, honesty in a politician, refreshing!

but he wasn't a politician then, so im expecting the lies to start shortly!!

if he tells the truth that is suicide for his career

Its his job now and he'll lie his ass off to keep it, along with the media spotlight, salary and perks he gets.
