I think Latham's new haircut is rather spiffy, to be honest. Enough with the old man part-on-the-side! Whether it has to do with his treatment or if he thought it was just time for a change, I don't know.
As far as him shuffling off, I think Australian politics won't miss him much. The guy's always struck me as a bully, the bigger guy in high school that intimidates everyone but appears charming to many. I can't think of too many things he's done for us lately, and it just seems that he has no real place anymore.
But personally, if he's suffering an illness as serious as they're making it out to be, then I wish all the best for him. I don't like how he acts in front of the camera but if he's sick then he deserves sympathy.
I wonder if we should think 'Thank goodness we didn't vote him in as PM' or if we should assume that he would have dropped out of the PM position too, if he'd won. On the one hand being PM would certainly make you want to soldier on that being a nobody, but on the other hand from what I hear pancreatitis is pretty damn serious and that nobody in their right mind would ignore it.
