Dear Foxy,

Good choice.

I however would have to pick Scott Morrison.

Secretly appointing himself Minister on a range of portfolios is pretty un-Australian in my book.

It was not only disturbing to a lot of Aussies it was a bad look overseas as well. It was frightening to learn our system allowed him to get away with it and I am grateful to the current government for measures to stop it happening in the future.

There's another one who probably writes Xi Jinping on his ballot paper if he doesn't like the names already on it.

ttbn,

Sorry but I beg to disagree. Go back and read your opening
post. You said that the nominees where - HIS choices and for
us to choose our own. You neglected to add - to choose from
HIS choices. Your at fault here! Take responsibility and stop
doing your houdini act.

Dear Steele,

I thought about Scott Morrison, as well as a few others.
But decided on Windschuttle. I'm glad you approve.

Ah, get a life, Foxy. Whatever. I don't really care if you felt mislead. I didn't mislead you. As an aside, I agree that Scott Morrison could well be have been a nominee but, it wasn't my list. I could list lots of people from across the political spectrum; I have no love for anyone these days.

But, I will side with Keith Windschuttle who is honest and a very scrupulous historian, one of the few who can trace his information back to original documents. And he is not connected to any of the scumbags on the original list of nominees, who should be the only ones considered in this instance.

ttbn,

This is a discussion forum over which you have no control.
And if you don't approve of the directions in which
people will respond - that is your problem. I am merely
doing you the courtesy of offering you an explanation.
Your non-acceptance of it - is once again your problem not mine.

As for Keith Windschuttle? He's been discredited by his peers
for not using primary sources in his research. However your
support of the man comes as no surprise - doing research is not
something you believe in - you've told us many times that you
believe more in opinions. than research. But it appears that
you're even selective in your choice of those.
