Apart from the danger of corruption, this particular incident again brought out Mr. Costello's arrogance and the PM's reluctance to kick his Ministers in the backside.
While I currently support the Coalition as the only possible government, I would have to do a serious rethink if Mr. Costello were to assume the leadership as he thinks he should. Not just because of this incident, which is bad in itself, but Mr. Costello is best suited to membership of the ALP, or even something further to the left, in too many of his attitudes.
