Where to start …?
What can you say when certainty is gone? Who do you call when the wolf breaks down the door? How do you respond to an awful truth? Where is hope when no one is safe?
Prime Minister Michael Lansdowne was abducted from outside his Parliament House office a bit over thirty minutes ago. They’ve snatched the one person in this country who should have been secure. The police have scrambled to confront this outrage, and while their commitment should not be questioned, their ability to get to the heart of this evil has been found wanting.
Having experienced what the PM is now going through, I could mouth words of comfort for those who know and love him. But I mustn’t lie. If Michael Lansdowne is in the hands of those who killed Susan Wright and Alan Proctor, any assessment of his chances must be tempered by their experience and mine.
This is the dawn of a terrible time for this nation. Let’s hope the prime minister is found soon. Safe and well. Let’s hope.
