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."

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.
