Dear Steven,

I used to have a boat next to yours at the yacht club and we spoke occasionally. Never about politics, so I was a bit surprised when you popped up in the seat of Norwood, sorry Dunstan.

I was involved a bit myself last century but dropped out and moved away. Coming back, we’ve gone a bit Third World-y, haven’t we? Seems to me that after fifteen years at the helm Labor needs a while out of it to change leaders and re-think policy.
