Say what you will about Kennett, the Libs are unlikely to find another one either in Victoria or anywhere else. Most of Melbourne quite liked him, the rest of Victoria hated him, and the rest of Australia watched on in amazement. As an ALP campaign volunteer, I've doorknocked hundreds of homes in middle-suburban Adelaide, and if I had a dollar for every time I've heard the phrase "We need a Jeff Kennett here", I'd be down the pub right now.

Regarding the bloggers' opinion that Red Ted is "...bone idle, seeks power for power's sake, is risk adverse and considers longevity more important than achievement and reform", I wonder whether these traits actually run deep throughout the Vic Libs. The former treasurer fits this picture perfectly (ironic - Alannis like - that this storm seems to have the seat of Higgins at its center). To be fair 'though, if we removed the "bone idleness" assertion, the picture fits the vast majority of politicians from both major parties (and the Nats, I might add). At any rate, perhaps Jeffery Kennet's greatest achievement will be to have been the very last Lib premier of Victoria. Keep it up, fellas!
