If you are reading this it means I have been murdered.

I got this email today. Senders' name left out.

dear mr crean,

i'm sorry to hear the bad news of your departure as the leader of the opposition. i'm not an australian citizen but i've been here studying in australia while you were opposition leader & witnessed you through your troubles. i must say sir, you have had one hell of a ride. i know what i say means nothing but i will say it anyway. i will always respect you for your stance on immigration and the mis-deeds of the howard government. you stood alone most of the time against all odds and though tired but never shaken. your beliefs has given me a new found meaning to the saying " standing what you beleive in". i watched you and your family on ABC's Australian Story. i used to think you (and other politicians) we so high and mighty and i never tought of them as normal people, but you made that clear to me that you are a normal man, a farther and husband. for this i thank you. i wish i was an australian citizen because my vote would have definitely go towards the labour party. i come from a working class family & beleive that the worker is the machinery that makes this a country go round. You have fought for the worker and for that you'll not be forgotten. your steadfastness to your ideals and principles make you the leader you are, no matter what others say. lastly, i'll do all in my power to speak and pass on the idelogy of the labour party to the masses. The labour party will WIN the elections.....if they don't self-destruct. may god bless you!

kind regards,
