I agree with you on Isobel Redmond but not on Alexander Downer.Sojourner wrote:I am not confident that Isobel Redman is the right person to lead the Libs in SA, I think a better option would be to convince Alexander Downer to join the party in a By Election or even in the regular election and put him in as leader. He is a very experienced politician who may have more currency with voters to suggest that he has the capacity to lead the party and get things actually achived in the time frame set out.

He will get a job as soon as he leave politics as the foreman of the GOOSE factory.

Get your facts right, he was out at approx 9:30pm getting a meal with a friend ... after finishing work just before.

I agree with you there R&B.redandblack wrote:Unbelievable
So, tipper, we've reached the stage where Kevin Foley can't go to the toilet at 9.15 at night because he should know someone might bash him because he's made decisions that might upset someone who is violent, so it's his fault.
We all have political bias, but that's ridiculous.

thankfully this has been enough and i havent yet been involved in anything like this. the chances are reasonably low when i am just another "random" out there. the chances of something happening are greatly increased if you are a public figure, and increased even further if you are an unpopular public figure (well, unpopular with some, if not all...)
i just think that regardless of wether it should be possible, i think some responsibility should rest with individuals that continually put themselves in risky situations. so far i have only seen people come out and defend his actions with, "but he is entitled to a life", which while i agree, needs to be tempered by the fact he is a public figure. it is part and parcel of becoming a high profile polititian. you dont see "movie stars" hanging out at bars on their own till all hours of the night (and i know this incident was not late at night, but the previous one was) without their minders, or at least if it happens i havent heard about it.
until i see a greater level of sympathy for the "regular" people that have this happen to them, i will not have any sympathy for mr Foley. i fail to understand how it should be safer for people on the streets if you are "famous" than if you are just an average person going about their business.
