Aloy, as a proud Australian I have frequently been horrified to have my country judged on our Govt's behaviour over the last decade...
Â
Think Iraq war, refugees, climate change, aid funding cuts.
Â
In this case it's a bit more petty and just another example of putting party bias before everything else. I think Garath Evans has a point. If Labor behave the way Turnbull has just done he will have Buckley's chance of cooperation with passage of Govt policy.
Â
Blocking a nomination based on a character reference of SOME people is petty and vindictive.
Â
Brendon Nelson was our lowest rated opposition leader, but I was happy for him to get his overseas gig and it was Kevin Rudd that nominated his position. You think that's self centred, ego driven megalomania?
Â
Â
Peter, I'd suggest to Matt Ryan that he buy himself a new set of toys to throw around his cot. We have a new UN secretary coming up at the end of the year and using his logic the toys will be thrown regardless of who wins the post.
Â
Â
GG, I've changed my screen name to " PZ " so feel free to use that
