Apparently the Labor Party want him to run in some safe Sydney seat, the one that has just been given up by Laurie Brerton (Sp?)
So what do you rekon? I'm in two minds, I think that it is good that the party wants to change its perception and having someone like Garett could just do that, personally it would appeal to me, being a 'tree hugger' and all or rather I would have a little more respect for the Labor party. However the thing that irks me is that it just seems a little too obvious, but then again I give Latham credit for actually visiting the Styx Valley in Tasmania and looking at the other side of the picture (something which Howard is yet to do). So I guess I think that it is good that the other major political party in Australia is making a strong commitment to the environment and as much as I hate to admit it, given that I am a Greens voter, but really, if one wants to make it in politics, I guess one has to play with the 'big boys'......
