Janet CollinsA Grateful Politician
October 20th 2009 13:00
It is not something that you really see too often, if at all – a politician thanking people who have supported him throughout his career. They may usually do a farewell speech and utter a few kind words to many who have kept them in office over a long time and have even sweated out on voting days helping to get people to vote for them.
Former Howard Government Minister, former Leader of the Opposition and outgoing Member for Bradfield decided thanking his supporters was the least he could do as he forges a new career overseas as Australia’s Ambassador to Europe, a position he will take up early next year.
Today, he personally took to the streets to thank all those who have supported him throughout his career, with a “thank you” sign in tow. Nice touch. I hope we see more of this.
Nelson formally resigned from Parliament yesterday.
