By Michael Cook, published 7/9/2012

Somehow, in the mind of the leader of what was once a workers' party, Tasmanian prosperity is coming a distant second to same-sex marriage.

Like any forum, you need to make outrageous statements to be listened to, whether online like this or in the political game. Because, as much as everyone hates to admit it, or can't bothered agreeing to, a perfect parliament would be a middle party that looks after everyones concerns. I voted labour last election, but the problem we have in Tasmania is that the global financial crisis hit right when the environmental economic transition was beginning. The problem being that there wasn't enough old industry left to preserve livelihood, and no finances to speed up the transition to good ideas like KAEP has. So there is a stalemate. The far left won't give up the environmental gains that have been made, and the right won't give up any more jobs or industry when we have so little of it left. So then you get labour who have to make social changes because there is no breaking the economic stalemate with a minority government and they want to be seen as doing anything. Until there is a majority government and finance given to whatever direction that government is going Tasmania will remain an economic basket case.

Were he to walk amongst us today, many would JUDGE him to be gay?
Rhrosty,
He'd probably take one look at us & ask himself why he bothered in the first place.
So far as I know he never mentioned public toilets.
