Now that the NO vote looks like winning those who backed it can thank the following: Anthony Albanese, Marcia Langton, Noel Pearson, Rove, Ray Martin, John Farnam, Laura Murphy-Oates, various business companies, Linda Burney, various sporting teams, 70 wise legal experts, ex-High Court Judge Rober French, Thomas Mayo, Bernard Keane, Paul Kelly, the TEALS, Angourie Rice, Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Gleeson, Jonathan Green, Kath Ebbs, Amar Singh, Jesinta Franklin, Celeste Barber, Magda Szubanski, and a host of other people and groups who don’t see themselves as knuckle-dragging racists and bogans trapped in a sad world that has more in common with Philistia than some upland.
The hapless Mr Albanese has been denied the chance to take his place in the ALP pantheon. He led Team YES that used vile language and never ever resembled a Vaucluse town meeting. Mr Albanese will now see the public pass judgment on his “I have a plan”. What will they say: is his plan just the fictive blatherings of an unpolished buffoon from Marrickville or does he really have a plan. In the meantime most of us look forward to tranquility returning to HC.
