After having used the Labor machine, you like many others before behave like an ingrateful man. You would have been nothing without Labor and now that you're retiring you choose to suddenly start criticizing the party.
Lol. What could anyone have to be grateful to Labour about?
I, for one, have long since ceased to expect appreciation for the time and energy I put into the party. It used to be I would spend hours leading up to elections, and practically all of election weekend, vigorously recruiting, campaigning, and whipping votes — only to have people stab me in the back when they no longer needed my help. Oh well.
I don't know what the situation with R2D2 is, because I never received any PMs from him and had not heard these complaints before yesterday. I definitely agree with him that caring too much about this stuff is neither healthy nor constructive, and wish him the best.
