 PM - Pre-selection battle for Wentworth
PETER KING: Look, as an ordinary Liberal, I think it's very unfortunate that the worst sort of tactics of the Labor Party are being imported into the Liberal Party.
PETER KING: Ever since I've been involved in public life, I've been elected to positions of leadership — from local government right through to the United Nations, immediately before my election to Parliament, whereas, the last time I looked my opponent was appointed to the Republican taskforce by Paul Keating.
Peter King's stronghold is in the branch of Rose Bay and the race is on by both camps to sign up as many members as possible by the 19th October, because that's the deadline to qualify to take part in pre-selection ballots.

 A new diplomacy over Papua | Paul Kelly | The Australian
It follows recent revelations in The Australian that the flight of the 43 boatpeople to Australia was a staged political operation planned over two years to exploit our refugee laws and maximise publicity for Papuan independence.
Remember that 76 per cent of Australians favour an act of self-determination in Papua, a stance that seeks the dismemberment of the Indonesian nation and that would brand Australia as an enemy.

I know what King — who is set to announce his candidacy as an independent Liberal in Wentworth late this week - HAS to do to give himself a chance to win the seat, and it’s not a pretty thought for the likes of Abbott.
The fact that the only One Nation federal politician, Senator Len Harris, said this week that he hoped the Liberals won the election is a straw in that wind.
King has since endorsed Tony Kevin’s book on SIEV-X as a thoughtful read raising questions the Government was obliged to answer (see Liberal voter rumblings mean second front for Howard).

 AFTER GROG BLOG: OIL PUNNECESSARY
Peter Garrett called it his electoral roll "glitch", his excuse for not having been on the roll for the past decade.
Turnbull tossed around his own money and influence to elbow out sitting member Peter King, while Garrett was foisted on a grassroots party membership incensed at being told they had to wear a glamour candidate just because they happen to live in a safe seat.
However, the Australian electorate is definitely not anti-American, and will certainly shun a party that espouses the violently anti-American rhetoric Garrett has pushed for the past two decades.

When Republican Congressman Peter King starts a political campaign against a commercial transaction, it’s pretty safe to assume that those who oppose him and support the deal are on the right side of the debate.
King, you will recall, was for many years Sinn Fein/IRA’s most brazen mouthpiece in Washington.
Now, with the IRA a busted flush in all but the most embittered Irish-American circles, King has switched the focus of his concern to a wholly different kind of threat, one that exists largely in his own mind.
