Wholly concur
Sneekeepete “Latham has revealed nothing at all about the ALP.”
By electing Latham to leadership – it reveals the labor party is, as well as being the tool of union factions, bereft of ethics, credibility, foresight or any other quality of a redeeming nature.
Sage – yeah – I heard one TV commentator suggest Latham might have been the product of an overprotective mother who, when the infant Mark did something wrong, she would blame it on something else and thus for all the ills which befell her precious prodgeny, the chair or the cat or whatever was to blame. Hence LAtham has adopted the idea that all the “bad things” are to be blamed on others and only “good things” attribute to himself.
Arjay, Button did seem to have some character.
However, he did bring us the “Button Plan” for the motor industry which forced the closure of Nissan manufacturing in Australia as well as a shot-gun marriage of inconvenience between Toyota and Holden (and which had some strange one off financial benefits for Toyota at the expense of Holden).
