Ambassadors
Sometimes, instead of just criticizing politicians, it’s good to recognize when they do something right. And in this decision PM Kevin Rudd has made some excellent choices.
Kim Beazley may not have been destined to be Prime Minister, but he certainly was to be Ambassador to the USA – a smart, likeable guy with a huge knowledge and relationship with the USA and vast experience in Defense. There could be no better choice. And I think Brendon Nelson will do well as ambasssador to Europe and NATO – a similarly experienced and intelligent guy, he was even less suited to be PM than Beazley but should be great in this job. Good choices Kev – nice to see a little bit of token bipartisanship once in a while.
… Wonder if Beazley will be as bamboozled as I am over the controversy over President Obama’s attempts to construct a decent universal health care system?
