Hingdog, you and seer flatter me no end! Drawing comparisons between myself and one of Australia's foremost intellectuals and most respected journalists is a compliment I would never have expected! Blush! Blush!

Although there are many matters on which David Marr and I concur, there are many others where our views are poles apart - HE holds Tony Abbott in much higher regard than I do. As for our powers of expression, that's like comparing Buddy Franklin to Bob the Builder.

Whereas Marr has done most of his learning from studying, reading and publishing; most of my learning has come from assisting young people, their families and communities while improving education systems to enable others to do likewise - enriched with self-funded travel through many countries and of course my own life experiences such as delivering cakes to café owners in the Melbourne CBD 40 years ago.

It comes as no surprise to me that you would hold an extreme left winger in such regard! I'm sure it comes as no surprise to other level headed posters here also.

I'm just wondering how you can say you're not an extreme lefty with a straight face?
