Beazley quote

I've been a bit unsure as to whether Beazley is Labour's best shot at winning the election, but this quote from Seven's Sunrise on Australia's relationship with the US is right on the money:

I think that he needs to be a friend that the Americans need, not just the friend that they want.

Of course, it probably didn't last 5 minutes in the media. Still, I reckon its a pretty good grab and, more importantly, a very good line.
