    Not a memorable vintage according to ex-Premier Barry O'Farrell.

    Well if it's a giant sequoia in the middle of the blue gums, they stick out.

    Why do pollies ALWAYS seem to try a lie first to get out of trouble?

    I think the real lesson here is - don't write thank you notes.

    The NSW Libs are a total failure when it comes to corruption - They don't declare a bottle of wine. Labor pollies steal hundreds of millions of dollars.

    Is the market value of this vintage likely to rise due to its current notoriety?

    The SMH reckons the price for 1959 Grange currently ranges from $2998 to $7490, and says "Should O'Farrell's missing bottle turn up and pass muster - both in terms of content and label - its value could more than double, especially given its new-found significance in Australian political history."

    Julie I think that Tony is speaking in the context that you have the Obeid's, Williams and Craig Thompson who combined stole hundreds of millions of dollars of union members, tax payers and share holders funds while denying that they have done anything wrong.

    Mr O'Farrell has paid the appropriate price and taken it on the chin rather than thumbing his nose.

    I would hope that as a voter you can differentiate between pollies on one side who sniff office chairs and fail to declare an expensive bottle of plonk and the criminal activities of those mentioned above as well as the potential criminal actions of the labor party in Victoria who are in the back pocket of the CFMEU.

    There is going to be a change in the state government in Victoria and I really feel sorry for the poor and disadvantaged who are going to suffer because of the mismanagement that will follow.

    Kind Regards
