POLITICIAN AMIDST CAR SALESMEN
Announced on page six of June’s Auto Industry News (“Official publication of the Victorian and the Tasmanian Automobile Chambers of Commerce”):
Former Prime Minister, Paul Keating, heads an impressive list of speakers appearing at the 2006 Australian Automobile Dealer Association National Convention at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne from September 7-10.
Mr Keating will speak at the Castrol Luncheon on Saturday September 9.
The Castrol Luncheon! Good for him. From the same report (no link available): “Other speakers include perennial favourite, David Martin, world-renowned automotive sales training guru, Joe Verde, and special international guest, Tom Stuker.”
UPDATE. Fidens asks: “Wait, lemme get this straight … Joe Verde will be there? The Joe Verde?”
Would you buy a used economy from this man?

Incidentally, Tom Stuker is the acknowledged “Father of the Phone Room”.
Nah-ahh!! No link; I want you folks to google Stuker* and experience the electrifying excitement all by yourselves.
* Does “google Stuker” sound to anyone else like a German obscenity?
The used car salesmen invited Keating so they’d look good by comparison ...

Who would cough up a wedge of hard-earned to hear the turgid, flatulent twat whine about how he was dudded in ‘96, and how the people of Australia have been lured off the path to rightousness by filthy lucre? I wish he’d croak. Actually get Gough to kark it as well, and we could have a double bill- I reckon a Charleston, followed by a jaunty jig would be in order for that bill.BTW- if a politician, a paedophile, a disc jockey and a car salesman were thrown out of an aircraft at 10,000 feet, which one would hit the ground first?
Who cares?Keating uses Castrol lubricants to grease his antique 8 day clocks.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 06 09 at 12:06 AM • permalinkThere’s a lot of disrespect being shown in this thread towards car salesmen. At least they have their own compulsory code of conduct and have cleaned up their act (or been forced to by Governments), unlike politicians, especially ex-ALP leaders, who accept comfortable directorships, consultancies etc, while drawing down generous public pensions. In fact,the car dealers are rather letting down their own high standards by inviting a politican to be the speaker at their conference. What I’d prefer to see is a car dealer like Rick Damelian from Sydney’s Auto Alley as Castrol Visiting Professor at the next ALP national conference, speaking on ethical behavour in public office. Should be a sell-out.
Re #22 Richard has it almost right. PK is following the money speech trail all the way to his next big antique market.
He’d like to be the Rolls Royce Socialist from Balmain. But the guy learnt his ‘Labor worker’ hypocrisy from good teachers like Bob Hawke.
I only know of one morally-genuine ex-ALP leader - Lyn Arnold, ex-Premier of South Australia, gave his services to World Vision - but he was brought up a Quaker.

Most politicians would feel right at home with car salesman, wouldn’t they? Especially used car salesmen.
