This is such a facile approach to policy making. It enables Labor to keep proposing bad legislation on important topics, get nothing done, and then blame everyone else.

Today I learnt that Adam Bandt was not actually the first Greens MP elected to the lower house. That honour belongs to Michael Organ in 2002.

Glad to see that The Age published my letter in response to this article, which I thought contorted the political spectrum beyond breaking point.

Reminds me of Howard: thrice opposition leader before finally winning an election. During this time he was censured by the House (including MPs of his own party) and took his own party backwards at the '87 election. Politics is a funny old business.
