Not ashamed to say I was and still am a huge fan of the man.I'm on your side on this one DU. One of the few PMs who had a vision for the country that went beyond the next election.And still does DJan absolute visionary , on more issues than just foreign policy. Had to the balls to stand by what he believes on major major issues. That's a leader..I agree Keating was inspirational as a statesmen and a complete prick as a person, Abbott lacks the inspiration!

The only PM this country has ever had who was at his very best on his first day (as PM)... seems he read his own publicity that day and loved it (himself) so much that he took his eye off the ball and seldom regained it... that's also the day that his decline began and never stopped. Ego can be a dirty word.

That comment reads like someone loaded up on single malt whiskey at the Melbourne Club. That probably highlights the problems in any political debate.To many generalisations and stereotypes.There's a refusal by both sides to recognise strengths and weaknesses on the other side of the political fence.It's a natural thing but it's strange how some of the most passionate of supporters of individual freedom and thought are so dismissive of the views of others.It's why these things never end in agreement.....but they're funny to read.
