Come on moondoong, you be the first conservative to congratulate the new member for Griffith for her win. It will make you stand out above most of the right wing crowd. I know you can do it.
I have expressed my commiserations to Dr Glasson for his loss. He was a first class candidate and gave it his best shot. His family are probably pleased he didn't get in as politics can be a rough business. To me he sounded like a man of conscience and like Dr Sharman Stone he would have found it difficult to accept the lies and extremes of some in the abbott government. He said as much during the campaign that he wasnt going to be anyones lackey.
