It's bizarre that the shadow minister is not expected to compete with the minister, but with me.Andrew Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705844456819481896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-45234367644314432502011-06-16T19:43:26.054+10:002011-06-16T19:43:26.054+10:00Thanks Rhiannon and Paul.
Bishop's article ha...Thanks Rhiannon and Paul.<br /><br />Bishop's article has 809 words, mine 1641 if you take out the bits where I quoted her. Earl, I never claimed to cover the gamut of international relations - but I would hope for a minister who can. <br /><br />Julie Bishop MP has many outlets to show that she's the best available custodian of the nation's foreign policy. She consistently shows herself to be shallow and unimaginative in the role, which is to the nation's disadvantage. I have touched on relations with one other country to illustrate the fact that neither Bishop nor Rudd are serving the country well on important issues.Andrew Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705844456819481896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-83630647232657356272011-06-16T17:05:56.371+10:002011-06-16T17:05:56.371+10:00Earl, I don't think Andrew has any spotty 18-y...Earl, I don't think Andrew has any spotty 18-year-old staffers to delegate the task to, so he should be able to make a fair fist of it.David Irving (no relation)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-65038882952657670622011-06-16T10:37:51.360+10:002011-06-16T10:37:51.360+10:00What a load of self-serving pseudo-intellectual dr...What a load of self-serving pseudo-intellectual drivel. <br />You honestly expect someone to cover the full range of international relations in a blog of a few hundred words?<br />Rather than use sarcasm to attack a parliamentarian, why not show the world how to do it? <br />So here is my challenge to you! <br />Write a blog of the same length as Julie Bishop's blog on the same topic and reveal the majesty of your intellect and allow us to marvel at your brilliance.Earlhttp://www.redmeat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-88203251746306723972011-06-15T21:40:10.174+10:002011-06-15T21:40:10.174+10:00Thanks too.
