The Wentworth election was held on the Saturday prior to our session. Despite early claims of victory by political pundits the outcome was still not resolved when we met. The election provided much to talk about. I did not think I would have sympathy for a millionaire ex banker and ex-PM holed up in his New York house, yet whatever he did was twisted by his critics. Turnbull had made sure he would not be a distraction to his party, yet the very people who had carried out his political assassination were now claiming he should have helped the Party in this election.
Mr Rudd, another ex-P.M. could not stay out of the lime light and muscled his way into the act to promote his new book and himself. Of course his downfall was not his fault, and despite his protests that he has moved on he is yet another political assassin lurking in the shadows.
We now will wait for the results of the US mid-term elections in November, time to witness more of the Trump factor at work!
