As well as a brilliant barrister, Sandy Dawson was a superb raconteur and an astonishingly clever mimic. He used to have us in tears as he regaled us with his impersonations of us - his clients - the judge, other barristers etc. We are beyond heartbroken. smh.com.au/national/nsw/r…

‘We insult people’s intelligence’: The Liberal Party recriminations begin
Old, elite, out of touch, poorly organised, unpopular and devoid of fresh ideas. The criticisms of the Liberal Party after its election loss have just begun, and the harshest come from within the party itself.

Another MP said: “Our brand is so damaged at a federal and state level. We cannot win an election unless we do a full Tony Blair New Labour rebrand.”
