I never said that I am not entering politics, I said that I don't want to be a career politician. I always get what I want, and always will get what I want. Now, where are your sources proving that Alan said that?

that attitude will ensure a lifetime of failure. and for someone in their early 20s, it is quite a silly statement. you havent even left home yet!

It's probably for the best, I'm sure Matty will make an excellent "Red Spot Specialist" at Darwin Coles.
You must make sacrifices to make a marriage work you know Karnal, & well if Matty & his aboriginal bride were in Canberra how's Uncle Ned supposed to have his "special" time with their young kids.
It's not just about Matty now, he must think about whats best for the whole Mob.

Are you saying Matty should enter politics to look out for his tribe? That's selfish, Smithy.

Matty was going to enter politics to help all Australians, just like Pauline did.

It's true, though. I have always attained what I wanted.

How do you know whether or not I've left home yet??

I'm grateful for that, Matty. It sounds like you've given this decision some serious thought. Personally, I think you've made the right choice.

I told you, I heard it on the radio. Breakfast on 2GB. Don't you listen to Alan?

You're going to need to change that when you re-enter politics, you know.

Not necessarily.
I think it shows focus.

I have never found life that difficult - probably something to do with setting my goals and working to achieve them.

Life isn't that hard - people make it hard.

I want to be a politician, but not for many years to come. And pollies make no where near the same amount of money (not that money has anything to do with my motivation to do anything in life) as many other fields. I do listen to Alan, and he said no such thing recently. A link would be much appreciated.
