Election silver linings
Taking up Robert Corr’s theme, may I suggest a number of positive outcomes – as in the long-overdue clearing of dead and wet wood from the Left:
Meg Lees is gone, for good
The knives are out for Simon Crean
30-something Labor chief strategists Tim Gartrell and Michael Kaiser are getting hit with the blame-stick
The merits of the first two should be quite self-explanatory (if not, see here and here). As for my age-peers Gartrell and Kaiser receiving the thrown-tomato applause by uber-boomer journo Matt Price, this is also sweet and fitting because the duo masterminded a campaign that contained nothing in it for their age-peers. Hope to see you in the queue at Centrelink tomorrow, boys.
