I have no concerns about Tone's future employment, after the next election. A man of his undoubted talents will be in "hot" demand by prospective employers the world over. A short list of possible employment opportunities, some I'm sure Tone has already considered. egg timer, odor sniffer, mattress stuffier, ear cleaner and the pièce de resistance, posterior wiper, Although I do believe Kevin Dudd has that last job in mind should he fail to become leader of the free world and assistant manager of the universe!
Shadow, before you say it, Bob applied for all those jobs, but failed the intro test, not his fault, couldn't get the top of the pen to fill out the answer sheet. Cockey Joe failed also, couldn't add up, and the best they could offer him, was some second rate job in Washington! As the Auusie representative on the ground, doing the last job on President Donald. If Donald Trump was the son of Ronald McDonald, then he would be Donald McDonald, now that's a name even I could vote for.

Paul,

If you consider Ambassador to the US a second rate job, I seriously doubt that any Green MP would qualify for the job of bottom wiper.

I reckon that as there isn't one green who has academic qualifications of TA that your vile blathering is just jealousy. Sleeze Rhiannon, Christine Minge and other political dinosaurs, will simply slip into obscurity.

Dear Shadow Minister,

The Green's leader can certainly give Mr
Abbott's qualifications a run for their money.

He has from Monash University - Bachelor of Medicine,
Bachelor of Surgery. A master of Public Health and a
Master of Health Science from La Trobe University.
He was a practising General Practitioner and a Public
Health Specialist. He worked in Aboriginal Health in
the Northern Territory, HIV prevention in India and in
the drug and alcohol sector. His qualifications are
not too shabby at all. More conducive to public service
than many others.

Foxy,

So Dinner Tally was GP, and certainly the smartest of the greens, but still a distant second to Abbott with a Law degree with economics from Sydney that requires a 99 + ATAR to get in, then does so well that he get a Rhodes scholarship and completes a MA in political science at Oxford.

Shadow, you can give Abbott all the BA's DA's and CA's you like, but he came last in the common sense department and his people skills were a big fat zero, so his own party gave him the PO award!

As for Cocky Joe Hockey, a very mediocre politician, is ever there was one. He is undeserving of the Ambassadorship to Washington and if judged on merit, he wouldn't get the Ambassadorship to Timbuktu. Cronieism, and jobs for the boys, the Liberal Party is famous for it!

Paul1405,

You are a scream.

Here are the Oz Greens in action proposing a One World Government. -Where the 'one vote, one value' would ensure that populous nations like India and China would completely overwhelm countries like Australia. In effect, Australia would have no say at all in its future and with predictable results.

If they had their way, the Greens would sell out Australia and for zilch.
