Ed swallowed bait?
Having read many of the full and double-page advertisements for the opinions of Edward James, your regular contributor, I was astonished to find him publicly backing the local Liberal candidate in the general election.
As I had understood it, Mr James has declared no trust in anyone elected to any form of politics, particularly those aligned with Labor or Liberal, "the two parties not much preferred", as he regularly puts it.
It seems he has swallowed some crafty Abbott bait.
