Wow...just wow
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,19960267-2,00.html"QUEENSLAND AFL star Jason Akermanis may be headed for a future in state politics, after Premier Peter Beattie said today he wants Akermanis to pursue a career in state politics."
I can honestly say that this is the first time in a long time I have not regretted moving back to Adelaide from Qld.
What would make either party feel that Akermanis would be a good politician?? He isn't exactly an eloquent speaker, I would question his education/knowledge base of general issues (issues not concerning him or the AFL) and moreso, his popularity. As AFL ratings in Qld have dropped the last couple of years (post premiership bandwagon jumpers fell off!), would have to wonder if Mr Beattie isn't taking a bit fo a punt here. Does this mean the Qld opposition will get Wally Lewis, Arthur Beetson or Darren Lockyer on side now??
The last word on this needs to go to Akermanis himself...
"Akermanis said he was interested in a political future.
"I know a bit about politics. I have seen how politics can ruin a football club," he told the Sunday Mail"
yes...this is the world we live in

Isn't he known as "Jatz Back"? Gross.
Quite possibly as he does appear to have/have had an acne problem...mind you not sure if pock marks are any inhibitive factor in holding public office!
Well, if you are only known for pock marks and being good at sports is that enough to base a political career on? I certainly do not want him having any sort of say on my rights, But then I no longer live in QLD...
