Lefty Kim at Larvartus Prodeo on February 15, 2009:
But on any objective view, surely there were always folk on the Labor front bench throughout the long years of opposition who were more talented, plausible and convincing than the sad and sorry mob currently occupying the Liberal benches.
Surely Kim can’t be referring to the current Labor front bench which is almost universally acknowledged to be one of the most incompetent government’s in Australia’s history. In contrast, no one can seriously question that the Howard Government was generally competent.
So the question arises: to where has Labor’s vast talent gone? Surely they must have disappeared.
I expect that Kim will now report on the greatest vanishing act in Australian politics since the disappearance of Harold Holt in 1967.
