Dear Kevin,
I’m not going to recap your past political victories or defeats here . Real though they may be, in many respects time has made them irrelevant to the present situation.
Nor am I going to dwell on any perceived failings of federal government from November 2007 until now – because government has been steady under trying circumstances over those four and a bit years.
What I am going to do is urge you to consider your own behaviour in either victory or defeat after next Monday.
Should you lose the ballot cast by your peers, I recommend that you do not challenge for leadership again before 2015 and foreswear any private contact with journalists or political commentators until then.
Should you win through on Monday and become Australian Prime Minister once more, then I strongly recommend that you find a level of personal and professional humility, tolerance, empathy and understanding which has so obviously escaped you thus far.
Regards,
A Regional Voter
