Gracious comments all. Vale, Christian, I’m no Lib, but I found you thoughtful and entertaining.

8 years is plenty loyal. Off the juice and onto ambition, u never write me anymore: 2003 attack of the viruses, worms other internet bugs. Refugees from Fitgerald ‘87, or just a conartist (?). The green in Green was right tho, just read Duffy today.

It’s entirely appropriate this Liberal Party mediocrity should move to the retirement home for pompous, out of touch Liberal Party mediocrities, The Australian. He is simply a very boring and predictable writer. Arise another dopey Dancing Bear.

All the best for the new gig. I thought Christian’s articles during the last federal election were compulsory reading. Even for this Greens voter.

I didn’t think The Australian was in need of another contributor to bag the Libs but I guess it is a contiuation of Christian’s career. All the best Christian but stop pretending to be a Liberal and just get on board the socialist train.

Finally the end of Kerr. I always knew that it wasn’t his skill that kept him at crikey. He was either Mayne’s lover or blackmailer and after reading this article I suspect the former. Kerr biases make him well suited for the the Murdoch press.

Just like the Diggers, eh! You just don’t know how good they were until they were gone. Just like the Libs, eh?

I suppose it is Christian not to malign the dead. Christian was not a bad political commentator but he was not a particularly good one either. If you heard him on LNL with Laura Tingle it was very clear that he was not in her class and a bit of an amateur

a year longer than me in the Greens 93-2000 but still vote that way. 1st topic for the Oz - McCrann 2day says Chinese carbon link to development unbreakable, Warren Fri says Garnaut no real politik after Bali. Both wrong - market failure is THE lesson!

I’m going to miss Sir Hillary even though he irritated the life out of me at times. Tony who died and made you the one who defines liberalism?

Don’t know if I quite remember Kerr criticising the former gov’t all that loudly, and it’s hardly “brave” to stick a knife into a dying man. That said, this Green found his work interesting, entertaining and always worth a read. Vale indeed.
