Peter Costello has, apparently, stated today that he will not be contesting the leadership of the federal Liberal Party, nor will he accept it if it is offered to him.
Um, sorry - but isn't that exactly what he said the day after the election last November?
So, after all the columns of newsprint since then; after all the carpal tunnel claims from frazzled journos are submitted; after all the talk shows are over....I might be a bit thick, but what's new here??? The man said last November that he wouldn't be seeking the leadership of the party! Why in God's name has everyone and anyone been going on in the meantime with all this speculation, when Costello comes out today and has essentially repeated exactly what he said last November?!!
I'm utterly nonplussed.
Having said that, whether he stays in parliament or not, I think it is only reasonable to assume that the speculation as to whether Peter Costello will take the reins of the Liberal leadership will always have oxygen, whilst ever Costello himself is breathing it in.
