Is Peter van Onselen...

[blackcat]

I am reliably informed, that the Dutch definition, of Peter van Onselen, is "Peter, the media sult"...

gives Bill Shorten at Beaconsfield and the former opposition spokesperson on foreign relations a good name when it comes to media whoring.

Who was he fomerly an advisor to?

So, are we to assume, he will be running for a safeseat in Perth for the bluebloods circa 2013? Carly P chief advisor

He was an advisor to abbott in the howard ministry.

He's had a big day today lol , fighting off the horde over one of his articles.
Then he pulled out his trademark " NEWSPOLL - WOW " tweet and everyone went defcon 1 on him but it turned out he was right lol.

Ahh there's my problem, I'm no longer into politics in even the slightest way as I have believed for a couple of decades that we are offered the illusion of choice and I watch/read a minuscule amount of main stream media.
