EVENTS FORETOLD

On the occasion of the Werriwa by-election, Tony the Teacher revisits one of the quotes of 2004:


"I’m here for the long-haul service of the Australian people, whereas Mr Howard of course is cutting and running into retirement."

Read the entire linked item and marvel at Mark Latham’s stunning reverse-predictive powers.

  1. That was the entire text of his speech at the campaign launch, by the way.

    Although he may have said something about ladders or some other thing that’s likely to be kept in one’s shed.

    Can’t remember, was too busy staring at the back of Paul Keating’s head.

  2. Is he there to service the Australian people the way Australian drovers service their sheep flocks?  Might want to keep on eye him in crowd situations…

  3. "Reverse-predictive powers”: I love it. How about we add “We will never introduce a GST” to the list?

  4. I miss Mark in a way. He made politics so interesting like that old joke- What do Mark Latham and a hooker have in common? Every day a new cock up.

  5. When the ALP gets back to formulating policy that works, instead of being a huge club made up of factionalised, branch stacking, political wannabees and opportunists, people might vote them back into power.
    Might.
