How Did Your Super Perform in FY 24/25? ME: 67.5%
Politicians often tread heavily on the political stage. Most of us leave our footprints behind when we leave but some just can't seem to let go.
Politics is a bit like a life of organised crime. You never really leave it behind.
Just when you think you're out they go an drag you back in.
For one, once you are a public figure you will have forever surrendered a modicum of privacy.
No one cares if Joe Punter registers a new company or gets a speeding fine but it can become news if ex-politician Joe Punter does the same.
It's part of the legacy of having a public profile which always made me question why people choose any sort of public fame or notoriety.
Superficially, fame may sound attractive but it ends up being a golden (sometimes leaden) cage that can do much more damage than good.
