Politics: Tasmania, Regime Change & Role Models

Yesterday's West Austrlain newspaper made me chuckle. Andre Malan compared the outgoing Governor of Tasmania - Richard Butler to Sir Les Patterson.

Personally, I know of few men who have risen to such an honour ;-).

Crass humour aside, I always theought Richard Butler was OK and represented Australia well when he was with the UN...obviously I'm not politically astute though.
