Dear reader, after a string of unfortunate incidents which were on the whole unfairly characterised in the press, we have worked tirelessly to assist the erstwhile member of Indi, Ms Sophie Mirabella in finding a new career.
We all agree that Ms Mirabella combines a formidable ambition, some intelligence and intensity of character that would be suited well to a career in corrections, deep space exploration, defense, aged care, and the vexed arena of aboriginal affairs. We need her expertise if Australia is to realise its potential under the ‘Ideas Boom’. As the P.M Malcolm Abbott stated, ‘ it’s an age of incredible promise and limitless opportunities limited only by our national imagination’. Sophie proved herself to be imaginative and calculating in her rise to the shadow front bench. We say; ‘Hide no longer your light in the shadows. Let your brilliance shine’. We’ve sifted through the job ads, and handpicked a few which we believe Sophie could turn into a promising and lucrative career path.
