Denton, Lathams 'unstable'.
Read it. Boring stuff as usual. Latham is not an author. He's lost it... most pollies are unstable. I'd say 95% have unstable, bipolar or borderline personalities. (Brogden come into mind here? - not bipolar - he's also borderline - not pitiable)
As a leader, he would have been a different person. Something like winning an election tends to have a stabilising effect on a person. But when they are dumped as fast as he was & was teriibly sick, there is a crushing blow to the ego (which is HUGE in all pollies) and results in a very conflicted personality. Especially when the conviction that you are right is no longer there. And since he cannot blame himself for the loss of Labor (due to the need to preserve the ego (same with Mr Howard... eg kiddies overboard... remember that fiasco?)) and needed to blame others. Problem was, he didn't do it privately. I expected something... but not this public. As I told YLA, the criticisms should be taken on board. There is always a need to develop... but there is a better way to do it. And one where he does not limit his future prospects.
Oh, and his bile is turned on the Labor party cause they were closest to him. Latham is borderline at the moment so that's exactly what he would do.
So people should walk away with no faith in pollies or parties but with a drive to fix things. Especially after being fed lie after lie from Howard and the bastard just grins cause he knows he's getting away with it (even after media exposure of his lies).
