Stand up, don’t sook

Andrew McNabb should get all the loathing and hatred of the Labor Party and unions off his chest once and for all.
I challenge Mr McNabb to put in writing all the things he despises about those organisations so that the readers of this newspaper can work out why he is constantly sooking and berating them.
He gets very personal about certain people that are members of those organisations so I am feeling free to go down that path also.
I am sure readers of this paper would be interested in whether his hatred of the Labor Party and unions is a personal thing or whether he is really about what effect their behaviour has on this country.
An appraisal of reasons would be interesting.
I am very interested and would like to know what he did before he became a serial whinger.
Be a man and take up the challenge or hide behind your pen as you have done in the past.
Patrick McHugh,
Pakenham.
