Well, what can one do with garbage other than rubbish it or toss it?

A dark horse indeed, and accompanied by lots of the stuff that emanates from the south end of a northbound Hack?

There's a time and a place for leadership ambitions to be displayed! And this is the most ill-conceived ill-timed (keystone cop) time or place for either!

But conversely a time to unite behind an elected Leader and agreed party platform and just get on doing what liberal voters expect!?

If after the election Kevin wants to challenge for the party leadership or rail against the agreed party platform, his prospects will not be harmed by following his elected leader now, and demonstrably so!

Ditto the rest of the deadweight conservative Corey and Co., (lead in the saddlebag) baggage!?

There is nothing 'modern' about good old Kevin Andrews.
Despite all the apparent virtues of the man being spouted by this author, it appears he was too conservative even for his own political party, when he was knocked back as a candidate for both Turnbull and Bishop's positions in the liberal party.

I looked him up on Wikipedia and I can see why his fellow political mates would be wary of elevating this guy too much in the party :

" A member of the Catholic Pontifical Council for the Laity, Andrews is an Adjunct Lecturer in Politics and in Marriage Education in the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in Melbourne.
Andrews is an advisor to the Board of Life Decisions International (LDI), a (non-denominational) religious pro-life group that is primarily concerned with opposing the pro-choice Planned Parenthood organisation. LDI campaigns for chastity, boycotts corporations and names individual celebrities who support abortion, euthanasia, or embryonic stem cell experimentation or who, in their opinion, support sexual promiscuity. These include GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson and Johnson, Time Warner and Disney."

Chastity? Oh dear! Maybe he is in the wrong profession?
He would have made a fine priest....
