Bill GreenKEVIN BEATEN BY MALCOLM IN THE FIRST ROUND
September 16th 2008 23:52
Kevin's political strategies are becoming soft. The latest illustration is asking Malcolm to join him in scheduling a time frame for Australia to become a republic. A quick surface look at such a proposal could indicate that he had Malcolm in a bind. Should Malcolm refuse such generosity; could it be only a disarming move?
What it does mean is that Kevin does not know Malcolm. The new man is rat cunning, knowledgeable, emotionally intelligent and something of a charmer. He instantly turned the offer into an attack on Kevin. As the convenor (or driver behind the 99 push for a republic) he has surrounded the issue. He pointed out that no one in Australia would vote for a republic while the present queen was incumbent (alive? Is she?). Hadn't Kevin researched that? So the offer substantially blew up in Kevin's face. Not that he recognised that. DIDN'T FLINCH OR HAVE A COMEBACK.
