Andrew Bartlett
Senator for Queensland
This web diary is an attempt to de-mystify politics and make the whole parliamentary process a bit more accessible and accountable. It also means I can get un-edited comments and feedback from people and get my views and arguments across without the media in the middle.

The creation of a "Split"
| As I’ve already written, I’ll leave it to the Labor MPs to choose their next Leader.
However, I couldn’t resist commenting on this ABC story. It shows just how automatic it is for any difference of opinion to be labelled as a "split" by the media. There are about 87 ALP members of the Federal Parliament. It would be extraordinary to the point of absurdity if there wasn’t some difference of views about who would make the best Leader, yet this is automatically painted as a "split", with all the inherent implications that go along with that. Hopeless! |
