Hi Foxy,

For all my lampooning etc of our polys on here. I must say over the many years of meeting with these guys, including PM's and State leaders, from all sides of politics, I have admiration for the vast majority of them. Most I have met have demonstrated a commitment to their calling and most try to do the right thing by those who elected them. I can speak for The Greens in NSW, and all are in my view very committed people, add to that a number of Liberal and Labor members who are just as dedicated as our mob. However can't always agree with their politics.

p/s There are exceptions, never met Eddie Obeid!

Dear Paul,

Thanks for that.

I've also met quite a few politicians of all persuasions
in my time due to my line of work. Nearly all of
them made a favourable impression. But then I suspect
meeting them in a working capacity - we all just simply got
on with what needed to be done. I can't recall any one of
them making a negative impression on me. Which I suppose
says a great deal.

I have consulted to John Woodley, Queensland Senator and a very good individual.
