Real reform - not something any of you are credible about

Anyone who has ever advised good politicians knows how overly sensitive they can still be because its not just the truth that matters to them but how the truth is perceived. They must not let the truth be watered down internally or they will be caught in careless compromise  . Which is why its a mystery why they cultivate so much "business is government "nonsense within their own ranks .
Frighteningly for their election prospects,  the Liberal party encourages people whose style is quickfiz and who fail to listen closely enough to be more than bullies in the treatment of legislation and administration. My experience is that,  in recent days,  the "crash throughs" are worse in the Liberal party than those within Labor .
The worst thing too is that rank and file Libs don't see the danger in the style of some of their old leaders and the shallow and ineffective nature of their methods . After all the damage from Kennet Stockdale meant the Libs were out of power for far too long - let alone the reasons why they lost Corangamite  2 elections in a row.
Now we are supposed to believe ( sorry Tony - not credible) that the Libs are prepared to listen . Reith may be focused on particular reform,  but general reform must happen if the Libs are to be taken more seriously as a party of competence,  rather than more of the same old sameold  ---crash through us too  .
