Shouldn’t be a shock, shouldn’t even be notable. But a cabinet filled with serious people who know their briefs, even if I don’t agree with them, is such a massive step forward from the past decade

Not a fan of the honours system, but if we are going to have it Steve & Pete are exactly the kind of people we should honour. A real privilege to have worked with them and been a tiny part in the development of @kick4life. Congrats gents

Well that Mowbray sacking was coming, not sure where we go from here. Having someone connected with the north east so strongly was a big part of the restoration of pride. Big couple of weeks for KLD & Speakman. Still better than being owned by a human rights abusing petro state
