Forrest preaching to the choir

Perth mining billionaire Andrew Forrest addressed 60 Coalition MPs at a private meeting in Canberra, telling them the only way to kill the proposed resources tax was to change the government.¹

Somehow, I don’t think this is the best possible venue for Andrew Forrest to do his proselytising.

I mean, I can see the Coalition MPs’ reactions now: “OMG! I was going to vote for Labor in this upcoming election, but that was before Andrew Forrest told me this. I’m going to switch my vote!”

I mean… right?
