Kevin and the Queen

So there you go. Kevin is toast and Julia is the Queen.

Not a bad outcome really.

Now the commentariat will be going at this for days - so there isn't much value that I can add - just yet.

Except to say one thing. Kevin did some things very well and some things quite badly but one big mistake he made was to push his religion at the rest of us. He even did that again in his *farewell* speech today. Just plain dumb.

The political analysts will dissect his time at the top and produce hectares of newsprint and hours of moving pictures - most of it bland and BS. And all of it designed for consumption by the punters and to enrich the moguls.

But one key reason why he is toast is because he let the "unelected lunatics in the religious right" dictate terms to the Australian people. And we don't like that very much.

Julia will get this and then hopefully she will bone the culprits. So I don't expect Steve Conroy will survive past midday Tuesday.
