So it's nothing to do with Ossy being some sort of 'safe seat'. It isn't.

I know lots of people who have benefited from his work as a councillor. On that level you'll rarely hear a word of criticism.

I think he's re-elected because of the man he is. A man with a proven track record.

He might be a pompous tyrant in council chambers, I don't know, but face to face he's a nice bloke.

Just popping this post in an evidence bag.

So it can be used by the defence, the next time Jaysay writes to the Observer, slating this forum a place of 'vile and vicious attack', against his old chum.
