No one loves to stick it to politicians more than myself, yet I could not help feeling for poor old Kim Beazley last week. Whether you agree or not with Mr Beazley's policies he spent a life time trying to improve this county. The following are the ministerial positions he held for this country.
Minister for Aviation from 11.3.83 to 13.12.84.
Special Minister of State from 14.7.83 to 21.1.84.
Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence from 11.3.83 to 13.12.84.
Minister for Defence from 13.12.84 to 4.4.90.
Vice President of the Executive Council from 15.2.88 to 1.2.91.
Minister for Transport and Communications from 4.4.90 to 9.12.91.
Minister for Finance from 9.12.91 to 27.12.91.
Minister for Employment, Education and Training from 27.12.91 to 23.12.93.
Minister for Finance from 23.12.93 to 11.3.96.
Deputy Prime Minister from 20.6.95 to 11.3.96.
Kim Beazly may end up being remembered as the most experienced politician to never run this country. I will always remember Kim for being the first politician I have ever sincerely felt any compassion towards.
Losing a brother so close to Christmas and on the day of losing the leadership of the opposition is a little to cruel for my likings, even for a politician.
So Kim my heart felt sympathies go out to you and your family and thank you for every thing you did for this country.

He's to fat. How can you expect to gain the respect of the people, if you have very little for yourself. The reason he's had so many different postings, is that he's crap at them all. I'm not saying liberal is better, hell no. But when little johnnie dons his wallaby jumper and goes jogging every morning.... he is imprinting on the people that he is fit. And fit to run the country. Fatty couldn't run to the toilet if he had vindaloo poo. Thats why he never ruled the country. It's a superficial world we live in. And not even politics is beyond that. Viva la revolucion.
