The Fitz Files: PM wanted Stan Grant as his man to fill empty seatNine days ago, the TV journo and now university professor received a very curious phone call from Scott Morrison. Peter_Fitz Has he asked you yet? you could be next on the list? He will have to run it by Alan first I suppose. Peter_Fitz Stan has built up so much respect and credibility over many years. Personally I think he would be crazy to enter politics at all. But pissing it up against the wall to join the Libs now would be insane. He only need look at Wazza Mundine to see a 3 ringed circus clown performing. Peter_Fitz Must be the same Lear jets that went to Davos. What a surprise you at MT’s house? Fair dinkum.

Man who shot up Hobart nightclub sentenced to five years' jailWayne William Howlett, who fired 25 bullets from an ex-military semi-automatic rifle through the door of a Hobart cocktail bar, is sentenced to five years' jail, with a non-parole period of three years.

Another case of violent delusional sociopathy, this time self inflicted due to drug abuse, but the guy also had an already banned weapon so the law did nothing to stop him. When is our society going to admit what the real problem is & that we simply don't seem to have an answer? ONLY FIVE years
