Due South

Rob Oakeshott's membership of the National Party was always rather baffling, but a Labor Government acceptable to Tony Windsor is going to be even more acceptable to Bob Katter, Tony Abbott's acceptability to whom indicates how great and merciful a break with the Howard years Abbott represents.

Gillard and Abbott have both been endorsed by politicians, Windsor and (especially) Katter, with agenda of big government to regenerate rural Australia, and with none of your rubbish about climate change hysteria, or abolishing the monarchy, or departing from the traditional definition of marriage, or importing a new working class in order to undercut the old one.

Roll on AV in Britain.
