We can all listen and read about it tomorrow no doubt. Good luck with the detail.<br /><br />Just to add I did eventually read Miranda Devine's pitch for Frank Sartor and finally got 'it' in the last line of an article entitled "Frankly, the best option is Sartor" which reads "It is time to bring in the kamikaze."<br /><br />Mmm. If that's not written by a journo barracker for the Tories then I'll eat my cabbage hat. Take note Frank, she see's you as a kamikaze to bury the ALP for good in a screaming ball of flames: No contest at the next state election unlike 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2007 - an intimidating record as impressive as Howard's scorecard even with the lousy polling now. She's quite a card isn't she. Well, Alex no chance of misunderstanding here. 24 hours can be a long time in politics but you seem confident of the prediction.

Not that its Alex's fault. Our political parties depend on the mainstream media Alex and don't need Crikey - yet. That’s downright embarrassing stuff from Alex clearly riding on the wrong info.
