MM + PP = PC

Australia needs a moral, intelligent, perspicacious, strong man (or woman...see me being pc) who can resist the slings and arrows of mendacious media hacks and the back stabbing of pusillanimous politicians, we need someone who is unlike those Peter Smith describes:

"Most leaders of the centre-Right in the Western democracies appear to be the prisoners of their own anxieties: the fear of proscription by the self-appointed guardians of self-righteousness; the fear of humiliation for failure to flatter those who parade their status as victims; and the fear of oblivion for simply ignoring the clamour to do something when there is nothing useful to be done. The watchword of many a conservative statesman used to be masterly inactivity; now it is miserly depravity. There seems no place for the old-fashioned conservative who steers a steady course, is frugal and firm yet decent and honest; who, rather than pick people’s pockets, leaves their money to fructify there—in short, the John Howards of this world."
