‘Defeat was a gift’: Tim Wilson to recontest Goldstein against independent MP Zoe Daniel
The former member for Goldstein is the only one of the six Liberals who lost to independents to so far confirm he will contest the next election.www.theage.com.au
This flog is going around for another turn. You couldn't make this up:
“Can I be brutally honest? I think defeat was a gift the community gave me,” he said in an interview.
”Because since my teenage years I have been a man in a hurry trying to make up for lost time, which I had lost … over the trauma of coming to terms with my sexuality when I felt trapped.
“I think people could see I was in a hurry. And then thought, probably, I needed to be humbled. And part of me thinks they were right.”
Isn't this the flog who was wrestling ANZAC Day wreathes of community members after he was voted out?
"Humbled" indeed...
you reckon he still wishes he wasn’t gay?
