Tanner the Manner

Don't you just love Daryl McCann's image laden description:

There are those in Labor, including some with genuine influence, who believe the ALP, the party of salt-of-the-earth Ben Chifley, can be rescued from the pretentious “dregs of the middle class” that have hijacked it. They delude themselves. Political correctness has insinuated itself into the organisation in much the same way as the cane toad now pervades northern Australia.

All in all the essay is an amusing and insightful critique of Lindsay Tanner's Magnum Opus:

...and it appears to render my transmogrification of Bob Brown into 'sideshow bob' perspicacious.
