I’m shocked too at John Brogden’s suicide bid. I’m also shocked at his jib at Bob Carr’s wife. Everything looked so clear and bright for him to be the next premier when Bob Carr resigned. I was fortunate enough to have a parliamentary lunch with John Brogdan a few years ago as part of a vietnamese community group meeting with him. The then president of the NSW Vietnamese community, Dr Tien, (who is now the president of the Australian Vietnamese community) predicted that Mr Brogdan would be the next premier. I guess this shows how quickly things can turn in politics when your life is in the public eye, how one small comment can ruin your whole career.
