To the right of his party, he is however an avowed social liberal and outspoken atheist. He has a slight narcissist. He regularly appears on chat shows and panel shows and has appeared on the cover of Men's Health.

Did you name your (left-wing) character after Australia's longest serving conservative Prime Minister on purpose? Tongue

Come on, I left out the first name Wink

Social dinosaurs belong with our opponents.  People who say 'lets not focus on the gays etc' tend to be the one's obsessed with it. On the matter of portfolio's I would be happy with infrastructure or health. But ultimately my ambition comes secondary to the party need.

As has been kindly pointed out, elections are not won in the inner cities, but in the outer suburbs, which are often filled with socially conservative and religious swing voters. Polling done in some of these seats has often shown opposition to SSM to be much larger than on average.
