I have another word to say on Peter Costello's decision to walk away from politics. I am very much surprised by the amount of people (from all sides of politics), who interpret his actions in a far more generous manner than I do. The general consensus is one that I actually agree with on a fundamental level; that is, that he realises that he will not become PM, and that the decision to walk away demonstrates "good judgement”. In a way, they are correct. However, I cannot help but to add that while running away often shows good “judgement”, but it also demonstrates lack of character in this context. People really should be grateful that this guy never became PM.
