He accused Xenophon of having integrity?
From my perspective as an friend to some former ALP state pollies I went to school with, a member of the Liberal Party, and an old acquaintance of Nick X, I get the impression that only major party total loyalists (or those of minor parties jealous of his capacity to attract middle ground support) want to attack Nick X.
Others, including some members of both major parties seem to be inclined to a support him as a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale and rigidified political environment. The truth seems to be that he has all the loyalists scared about how their team will stand up at the election in March...
I haven't made up my mind yet, about which candidate I'll vote for in my electorate, despite my party membership, which surprised Lisa Vlahos and Vinny Ciccorello. whom I sat next to at a function a few days ago - Vinny said, "In our party you can be expelled if you don't vote the way the party directs."
(This evening I'll be at the legendary outgoing Member for Waite's home for drinks and we'll probably talk about it.)
