Neil Francey, Independent 'small l' Candidate in Tony Abbott's NSW seat of Warringah drops by with a review of NHJ!, poking all-interested potential voters to his rather flash website hub.

Have a swizz around his cyber-empire and check out Neil's democratic pitch - especially if you're a north-shore local who's fed up with Mr Abbott's arguably less-than-honest brand of 'Honest Politics'. NHJ! readers will be bemused to learn that, according to MK, the AEC has (apparently) now decided to drop the whole AHPT Trust fund pursuit. (Keep an eye on Webdiary for more on this soon; I haven't checked out the AEC website yet myself, so if anyone's got more on this, let us know.)

Meanwhile, cheer yourself up by having a look at Barrister Neil's legal work on health and tobacco issues. His campaign slogan is: 'A breath of fresh air in Warringah' , and this seems to be a long-term interest. (Hullo, hullo, I spy the legal firm that preceded the Liberal Party's own favourite Establishment mob 'Minter Ellison' on your CV, Neil, briefly back there in the eighties; hang on a tic, YOU weren't the mysterious 'electoral law expert' who advised Saint Tone on his bodged-up AHPT, were ya? Only jokin'.)

Mate - good luck with the stoush, from a two-pack-a-day fiend-of-the-fag. (And if you can legislate into existence an instant & foolproof cure for addiction, I'll shift to Manly and vote for you myself! Twice.). One currently-vogueish stump-question you're gunna have to be prep'd for, though: have you ever doobied up, and if so, did you inhale?!
