Former leader of the Australian Labor Party Mark Latham has had his 15 minutes in the spot light in an election where he is not even running. After Mark's loss against John Howard in 2003 he disappeared from public life till about a month ago. The Channel 9 show, 60 minutes decided to give Mark a soap box to stand on. With a camera crew in toe Mark went out wearing a media pass and joined the media pack. Mark used guerilla journalism tactics to ambush Tony Abbott and Jullia Gillard as they were walking to events. As the campaigns were getting boring the media pack turned their attentions on what Mark was going to do next.
On Sunday the 15th of August the article aired on Channel 9 and I must admit it was well put together with interviews with the Greens leader Bob Brown, former pollie Pauline Hanson and people on the street. The article looked semi serious till the end where Mark told us all to donkey vote. That's right he wants us not to vote at all in a protest against the two major partys. Well one of the parties is going to have to win and I would like to think that I had a say who it is.
