The thorn in the side of all Australian conservatives, High Court Chief Justice Michael Kirby (judge), retires today.

The Liberals got so desperate to demean this fine man that their chief head kicker, Bill Heffernan, accused him of using government cars to pick up male prostitutes. Yes, he had to apologise after the evidence was proven a lie.

For your wisdom, humanity, dissenting votes and dignity during trying times, you have my warmest thanks sir. Enjoy what lies ahead of you.

As usual, after an election drubbing, the defeated party votes in a new leader.

Guess which one they picked.

Yes, the one on the right, Brendon_Nelson.
As Defence Minister, his only claim to fame was to the loose the body of Jacob_Kovco in one of saddest cockups of Australia’s role in the Iraq war.

He’s an ambitious twerp with no deep convictions beyond his own personal ambitions. The earring has gone but the pretentious poser remains.
