Once again Glen Milne is the conduit. I am being measured here when I suggest that Milne and Howard are far too close. If Heffernan is Howard's Parliamentary attack dog then surely Milne is Howard's media attack dog.
As for Costello. Kym nailed him. He doesn't have the bottle. Turnbull will, as the cartoon indicates, rip right past him. It's as if Cassius were standing at the edge of the forum, biting his nails, shifting from sandalled foot to sandalled foot muttering "dareI? dare I?". Turnbull might be the smooth silvertail but he will push past Cassius, I mean, Costello, and get the first good one into Howard's back, then stamp on the carcass and claim the job.
But just think. We might get a republic at last
