I wonder if MHS thought that disappearing as leader might mean that the defamation action against him would be dropped?
I can't see it getting up in Court anyway - defamation is apparently one of the hardest cases to prove. In all honesty, MHS apologised 4 or 5 times and after doing that, they say "Thanks MHS - that was cake, now we want to eat you too".
I'm surprised the Govt hasn't all taken leave the past fortnight - I mean, there has been no talk in the media about any issues other than the Libs and their leadership for about three weeks now.
The tram is off the rails, hospital admissions vs capacity are out of control, (there has been some serious issues in the health portfolio in the last 3 months), the govt caps the salaries of public servants to 2.5% yr while giving firefighters 5% yr through the back door and offering teachers almost that; the court action against bikies has stalled and despite getting an extra 700 coppers SAPOL can only put one patrol car on the streets of the Adelaide LSA at night; Gago is missing in action re Burnside Council and J-Lo must be in gay Paris for Le Tour with Le Lance atm as she has been a missing person for over a year now; Public Sector redundancies have been announced whilst political appointments to staff Ministerial Offices grow and grow; Shared Services savings cannot be found; Children under the Guardianship of the Minister still stay overnight in hotels and there aren't enough foster parents because they are paid next to nothing to do the job; Magill Juvi has been described in appalling terms by Monsignor Cappo and the Guardian for Children Pam Simmons; Street Hoons cant be caught outside a major Police Station (apparently) and the road toll is double what it should be despite the investment in roads in some places and the much vaunted reduction in the metro speed limit to 50kph. There's a huge list to work with, before we even talk about the budget.
Need I go on?
