Terry Barnes recently claimed (Hounding Abbott, 28 February) that a pack of ‘Jokers to the Right’ commentators think ‘it’s more important to correct [Team Abbott’s] errors than actually to win the match’. I take it as a compliment to be labelled a Joker to the Right, and all the more so when I’m lumped in with people of the calibre of Janet Albrechtsen, Andrew Bolt, Peter Costello and Jeff Kennett.
