The Australian Labor Party continues its habit of stabbings its local party members in the back and parachuting high profile types into candidacy.
Maria Hawthorne's AAP piece on 'Labor's latest star candidate in this year's federal election', Rodney Cocks, reads like a fan profile.
Cocks joined the party on the same day Labor's national executive reopened preselections for La Trobe, regarded as a key seat in the upcoming federal election. The next day the guy who'd previously got the vote was booted.
Over at Andrew Landeryou's blog, commenters are not amused, casting aspersions on various aspects of Cocks' suitability, including a prediliction for self-promotion and a willingness to stand for any party that might see him get into Parliament.
Sounds like a pretty typical Labor pick-up.
