Always amusing how journos like to portray themselves as Jimmy Olsen, Cub Reporter, ‘revealing’ things that are hardly any surprise to anyone.

oooooooooooooooo
Like the ABC Four Corners programme, which this month ‘revealed’ that conservative Australians not only preferred to have Abbott as Prime Minister rather than the leftist republican Turnbull but that some of them cared enough to tell their MPs.

A very respectable organisation, the National Civic Council, did what you’d expect anyone with an ounce of civic conscience to do and urged everyone on its mailing list to ‘to email their federal Liberal MPs to ask them to support Mr Abbott…’
ooooooooooooooooo
So what else would they do?
Sit back and watch as the Government was taken over by PC hacks, the party dragged towards the pinko ideology of Malcolm Fraser, which that grumpy old galah is still spewing forth today?

The whole point of getting together with like-minded people in politics is to make things happen, and an email campaign is one way, often quite a good way, of doing just that.
Which makes one man’s comment quite breath-takingly naive.

One of those who received the email, barrister Robert Colquhoun, told the program he was astonished by it.
“I was being told that I should write to all the politicians, all the Liberal Party, telling them that if Tony Abbott was disposed (of) I would not vote for the Liberal Party at the next election,” he said.
—————–
So Mr. Colquhoun, what exactly is astonishing about that?
Interesting, yes, energising, yes, maybe both of those – or indeed alarming, if somehow you’re on the other side and got the NCC’s call to arms by mistake, as seems to have been the case with this ever-so-sensitive lawyer!
But astonishing?

Why astonished that conservative people want to rally support for the most conservative person in the contest?

It’s the least we owe the Poles.

Ross, you are always pushing us to do things like this, protests, petitions, now emailing Poland.
You never let us take a break from the battles!
I have just emailed with the message you proposed and I feel I have done something worthwhile today.
Thank you.

Many Germans want no part of this Merkel/Juncker War against Poland.
I will most surely email my support to the Polish Prime Minister because I think you give us a very useful recommendation.
