Give me a J
Give me a U
Give me an L
Give me an I
Give me an A

I hope she gets up.
I hope her health is robust.
I hope I am wrong in my fear that Australia is not ready to be led by a woman.

I know she is capable and courageous.

You will be doubly judged because you are a woman and you are young, know that success is yours and OURS!

Latham to become a lighthouse keeper.

January 18th, 2005

Lighthouse keepers don’t need doorbells as there is very little foot traffic. It is the perfect job for a person who wants to get away from it all.

rocks and swells ahead team Labor

My hope for PM in 2007, has resigned from parliament.

He is looking as sick as his beloved Labor party is!

He just wasn’t what I hoped he could be.
Even as I listen to the audio I’m thinking "internal attribution; suck it up"
I’m instantly ashamed of my lack of concern for him as a human being.

I guess that’s how it is.
I demand that my Leaders lead.

No crying.
No weakness.
No sycophancy.

I admire Mark as an individual, a husband, a father and a son.
He is putting his health and family before his career.
He can however, not fill the expectation I have for Leader of my country.

I’ve just realised what that means.
It means that I expect utter devotion and single-mindedness to one role.
I dislike personalities like that.
They make such lousy people…

What I expect creates what I dislike.

I have to go now, I need to cook some comfort food for me and the lighthouse keeper.

John HoWARd, the Doctor can see you now.

Our Prime Minister has a serious frontstage backstage dichotomous personality going on…

Poor Mark. Leadership demands human if not superhuman effort.

January 14th, 2005

I have no loyalty to Mark Latham and it seems I’m not alone.
I’m not even that enamoured of the Labor party since Paul Keating went off to do other things.

I am however, committed to the end of the HoWARd, Downer, Ruddock, Vanstone, Anderson et al regime.

So, Federal Labor, get some style advice for Kevin Rudd and put him up as leader.

John HoWARd needed new glasses, bright ties and a brow wax before he became acceptable.

I’d like to see a woman in the job. I’d like to see more women in charge!
We’re certainly capable of being superhuman.

The US leads in the area of women in powerful positions. The US may be ready for a Hilary-shaped President in 2008.
With the way that Australia slavishly follows the US; we could have a Julia-shaped leader of the opposition by 2013.

Please just make the decision and get on with being in opposition with a LEADER!

Mind Spirit alignment for the fearful leader to appease the fearful voter

January 12th, 2005

Dear Mark,
Having consulted with the Aromatherapist and Kineisiologist, these are the plants that will furnish the essential oils to restore your health.

You can win

Fill that spa in Terrigal with warm water.
Place 5 droplets of each into the tepid mass.
Disrobe.
Gently lower yourself into this puddle of pungency and relax.

Soak, with eyes closed, for 15 minutes.
Repeat this ritual daily until you feel your wellness returning.
This is usually achieved within 8-10 days.

Pack up your bags.
Load the Commodore and return to Canberra.

Get back into your role as Labor leader and impress us.

We desperately need a viable alternative to HoWARd.

Mark, you’re it!

Fucking get well and make plans to kick his lying rodent arse!
