Good news - The South Australian Attorney General bites back

Last week’s blog on the recalcitrant SA AG has not gone without comment from the very man himself. By email no less. And pleased to say the email is a beautiful example of the practice of politics when you want to run a smoke screen.

He has requested it be published in full but I think it’s only fair to give him a chance to clean up the content (not swearing I hasten to mention. Just logic). I sure as hell wouldn’t want something so disjointed to be published in my name without having a chance to think it through properly and perhaps rephrase it, but I’m not sure he thinks the same way.

Personally, I hope he leaves it pretty much intact because it explains so much about the man’s character. Besides, if he really is “into the technology” he can post the thing himself without it looking like a set piece to damage him in his absence.

I’m going to leave it till next week but if no further communication is forth coming I’ll publish it in full as per his request and we can pick it apart as a guide to what you should look out for when dealing with politicians who have their own agenda come hell or high water.

Somehow I don’t think it will be as enlightening as Senator Andrew Bartlett but it should be educational all the same.
