NSW Minister John Della Bosca is in a bit of bother over his low range serial speeding record.
Cie la vie. There wouldn't be a delivery driver in the state or the country who doesn't feel his demerit pain.
But not as much pain as Della will feel cycling from Leichhardt inner west suburb to Macquarie St for Parliament. It's short enough distance for a fat man to make the distance and long enough to hurt, and require recovery time. Not least from the fumes.
He may be shown as cranky and "foul mouthed" in the Daily Telegraph today getting their strips of flesh off the proud political fixer.
But the take home message is that if Della sticks with the exercise it will be the best thing that has ever happened to him. By facing up to the penalty and the physical discipline this is what he has to look forward to:
- a better respiratory health, which means better speaking voice, already no slouch
- faster brain work
- much better sleep
- a more relaxed mood at least after rehydration and sunburn
- a better marriage (read sex) life for greater physical fitness.
It's always good to see a politician on two wheels and though he won't be looking for our endorsement we embrace the rough hewn Labor bruvver's effort to burn fat not oil.
The next step is to give up the grog totally, and reduce the caffiene. We will be very interested in checking Della Bosca's profile in say 3 months to see if he has made lemonade out of lemons with his driving suspension.
