A good man exits

Kim Beazley is a very good man. He has an enormous, generous heart - far too good for the attrition of endless opposition. He is the greatest Prime Minister Australia never had and I'm saddened that he'll not be able to demonstrate that. Such men do not deserve to end their careers in disappointment - but that's politics. I had hoped he would be the man to stand at a dais and announce (in soaring prose) the success of a republican referendum. Perhaps he'll do so as incoming President. Three cheers for Kim Beazley - you'll be missed.

Well said. Very good point on the deadly nature of opposition - it is a shame that it can often be a much easier job being the Prime Minister than simply an aspirant.
