I am not saying he was a complete angel, and to be sure like any other Premier he wanted his people in safe seats, although I am unsure which seat you're referring to. But his "keep away" approach to Burke is surely a positive, and quite a brave one, given the influence of that crook on the WA Labor Party. Also, I think this comment of him changing his view on Iraq, certainly a bigger picture than even the WA state election, is illustrative:
"I realized that my analysis, my knowledge was just so shallow and so deficient."
How many political leaders are prepared to say that?
