Have to agree with Sponge Boy - for a representative we didn’t know was there, this is a sanctimonious diatribe - but gosh, congrats for lots of big words and volumnious phrases.

God save us all. Trood is all right, but honestly, where were the Libs when it was all going to hell? Hindsights 20/20. Rudd would have to be a total buffoon to lose to this lot. (But he still might be)

Russell’s comment on Japan implies to me a continuation of one essential ingredient of Howard’s foreign policy: always grovel to nations perceived as ‘elders and betters’ while acting as the schoolyard bully to small, weak nations like PNG and Fiji.

Trood was my International Relations lecturer and tutor at Griffith University. He should have stayed that way: out of the way.

With orators like this, the libs will be in the wilderness for many many years.
