If it is a new dawn, why are you still needing to hide. Why have you just slithered back under your rock and succoured yourself on your venom? ‘Hateful comment’, typical ALP response to a challenge. Praise the worthy, not dwell amongst the slime.
Greg

A member of the Tasmanian Labor Party actually, finally, bravely, anonymously comments. Did you spill your charddonay sunshine, did you run out? Has your life been disturbed in some way? At least this person won't be writing the book 'Lennon, my part in his downfall'. Because there was only one person in the ALP who actually participated in his demise and that was Lennon.<br />How about some praise for the people who put themselves out their and acted, like Justice Wright, Kim Booth, Nigel Burch, Sue Neales, Warwick Rafferty et al.<br />Whoever you are, Labor Party member, you remind me of all the gormless staffers and apparartchiks who have helped all those other idiot leaders you fairly critisced in your naive youth. Go crawl back under your rock. The only apologist for Paul ‘uber bogan’ Lennon to raise his head above the parapet of silence … writes for Crikey!!!

Constructive, unifying, positive ... Sounds like the "haters" aren't confined to Old Labor. I am no apologist for Lennon - the article makes it clear he was an appalling premier and led a thuggish, brutal regime. Ok, so my post is anonymous - if I want to avoid being thrown out of the ALP that's the way it has to be. I think you'll find that rules about members not being allowed to publicly criticise party leaders also apply in other parties. Now, back to under the rock for me; I might recommend a strait-jacket for you because thrashing your head about and uncontrollably gnashing your teeth can cause significant self-injury.
