    It will be an honor. I might not have made it to 17yo if Bob Hawke had not supported the Humanitarian Program. I became a citizen to vote bc he made democracy real to me. Commentators say he was seen as a messiah, but I disagree - he was himself & he was loved.

    "And we also need to make clear that if we can establish a voice for our First Australians, where decisions made about them are made with them and by them, this is not a radical concept. It is nothing less than we should expect in any other circumstances."

    If you arrange during an election campaign to be photographed worshipping, thereby highlighting to the nation the importance of your church in your life, don't then feign surprise and/or indignation when you get asked some questions about it

    ScoMo's church does not muck about: "We believe in the everlasting punishment of the wicked ... We believe the devil and his angels and whoever is not found written in the book of life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone"
