So I was thinking, as I so often do; I thought about Prime Minister Abbott, after my last entry about Prime Ministerial interviews – what will his legacy be?
I (over?) simplified John and Julia’s tenures into a series of bullet points as below:

My Two Cents: meeting the Hon. Stephen Smith
On Tuesday 30th of September, former Foreign, Trade and Defence Minister Stephen Smith spoke at the monthly branch meeting of the Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA. His speaking topic was “Continuity in Australian Foreign Policy”.

February In Review: Why voting smarter will help us trust the Government
“[In] Australia increased trust in the institution of government is up 13 percentage points to 56 per cent.
However, three in five Australians (60 per cent) do not trust government leaders to tell the truth regardless of how complex or unpopular it is.

Tony Abbott announced his new ‘Kitchen’ Cabinet today…
1/19 Ministers is female; kind of proud it’s my local member, Julie Bishop. I’ve worked at her electoral offices for a University Practium and she is a good local member for Curtin.
