Taking Bennelong
Forget about these kids. Let’s just get rid of the Desiccated Coconut
Yep it’s the beginning of March and the NSW State election is only four weeks away. Yawn. Is it going to be Labor’s Carmel or the Green’s Fi? Who knows? Who cares? The trains still won’t run on time.
It certainly won’t be the Liberal’s Mansour. If there is one thing that is guaranteed in Marrickville, it is this. The Libs may get in but it will be during the second coming of Christ.
Unlike Bennelong of course.
But what’s exciting now, is the possibility of former ABC journo Maxine McKew taking on Howard in his seat.
With a four per cent swing needed to get rid of Coward which, Keating described recently as a desiccated coconut, it could still be a tall ask in this climate of fear and loathing.
But we can live in hope.
A dear work colleague of mine (a lovely lady from nearby Kingdom of Leichhardt) raised an interesting idea.
“Wouldn’t it be good if the inner west could vote in Bennelong,” she said in an email (which incidentally went via the company’s Chicago office but that’s another story).
It got me thinking.
The Glebe vox populi this week was on resident’s views about McKew taking on Howard. Comments included:
I like her so good on her. I’m just hoping Labor will get in so any opposition is good. She has a lovely voice and is obviously very intelligent.
“It’s a good think someone with a high profile is challenging the Prime Minister. I’d like to see him gone.”
What if we transport these beliefs in Bennelong by getting some short-term leases in East Ryde, Epping or Denistone?
With the rental crisis happening at the moment, surely we can easily find tenants for our Marrickville homes?
Is this too much of a fanciful notion? Am I just dreaming? Has over ten years of the Coward Government affected my brain?
Help!
