Yes ! Pat Mcnamara’s happy parade on ABC 774 this week made me really mad . More worrying still , He advocated the promotion of someone who knows best how to sell things - is there anything of the farm left to sell? There will always be someone new wanting to be president but is there anyone sitting in the front row of the Nats ? Pats confidence suggests he still thinks everything is Ok in the country and even like John Cain that, its impressions that count ultimately.
The ABC's great aust story on Peter Andrews highlighted a deep reality that Kennett at least now knows – that primary industry sectors are in a “notalk” mode and this is very serious for mental health and the National party and ultimately the conservatives. And where is the labour party in all this ? Lost up some reactionary drill hole?
