So this is why people do not like Mirabella?

[topsidesoul]

I thought it was the Q and A thing which was debatable about what she 'could have done'.

It would seem some of her own party do not like what she did to a former libeal member and his children.

Sophies pot of gold, was a man by the name of Colin Howard, a prominent and popular Liberal Party figure from last century. If Colin was Sophies age today, then Sophie would be 3 years old, such is the age difference. Sophie formed a strange relationship with Colin which resulted in her receiving huge financial gains, as well as being directly responsible for her being in the position she is today politically. The downside to it all, is that Colin’s children became completely shut out of his life until the very end, allegedly by his own wishes, and also of course shut out of the will. When Colin Howard died in a nursing home on September 2nd this year, he died alone.

Thanks for that.  I'm surprised she lasted so long, given that history.

I heard that Cathy McGowan is one of 13 children.  She has an AO, and heaps of other achievements.  So she is not some blow-in like the blond in another seat.

At least something will actually get done in the electorate when McGowan wins

Just saw some breaking news about an hour ago which stated that Sophie Mirabella has now officially conceded defeat.

No great loss, IMO.

Well done to Cathy McGowan !!

Well done Cathy McGowan, shows what can happen when you treat your electorate with respect rather than disdain, regardless of your political leaning.   Mirabella is certainly no loss to the political landscape - although it would have doubled Abbott's female representation in the Cabinet if she got up
