Good morning, my apologies, but I haven't had a lot of time to post in the past week. The pace has picked up another notch which suits me right down to the ground.
I'd like to congratulate Maxine McKew for putting up her hand and nominating for preselection for Bennelong. As psephologist Malcolm Mackerras has said, it's a marginal seat now, with a strong migrant vote. Maxine will be an excellent candidate to campaign against John Howard. No longer can Howard be "relaxed and comfortable" about winning his seat. The pressure this introduces can only defocus him from the national election and the contest for other marginals - he cannot physically be in two places at once.
And I'd also like to challenge what some commentators are saying. Take Richard Farmer in today's Crikey, Maxine is not running in Bennelong to be "blooded". She is running to win. To defeat John Howard. To return a Labor government to Canberra.
