what i resent about oakshott, page-10

"Bring on the next election because his electorate will make a statement on behalf of all Australians then."

I don't think "all Australians" share your view.

He is long winded, yes. You are resentful of him not "because he made Australians listen to his dribble whilst he had his 15 minutes of fame before announcing the inevitable", but most likely because he decided not to support Tony Abbott.
