I just think this guy's got to be evacuated from the Liberal Party leadership by close of business today, ... I think that his apology is entirely unacceptable to Helena and that is the greatest insult not only to her but of every woman of Asian background.

They said how important it is for our party, how important it is for the leadership.

First off, you have to have a good relationship with your party leadership and then you need to have good relationships with your colleagues in the House on both sides of the aisle. I plan on doing both of those things.

Party label and leadership image become more important...and thus who leads the party and what the party stands for, which can be communicated to a large number of people only by media, especially TV, becomes a more important factor.

At the very least the leadership of the Democratic Party would ask this guy to step down from his legislative leadership post, and frankly if he wants to spend all of his time doing dirty tricks and character assassination instead of the work of a legislator, he should step down.

They're both racehorses. I knew whoever won today would have to lay it down, and they both did.
