I have just seen a report from a newspaper ("Ethics overboard in government attacks") that seems to give a sensible summary and prognosis of the Australian political battle of the moment: The "Ute-Gate" Crisis.

When will politicians learn to keep their metaphorical "wedding tackle" in their metaphorical "pants"?

At some point, leadership is about restraint. Both sides.

Sometimes, "less is more".

Less "seeming virtue". Less actual anger. Less sleazy statements to the media.

More virtue. More honesty. More taking responsibility.
