“Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat"

Is there any way this could have gone worse for him?

I've (foolishly) ended up needing to go to Officeworks to get a photo printed... I'm expecting to be there most of the morning.

I agree it's probably the right thing to not host, especially given the ROI is bad (at least according to some other states...)

But even though I think it's a good thing, it is an embarrassment.

Announcing that you're going to host, putting money / effort state-wide into preparing, and then dropping it is embarrassing. It sends a message that you can't adequately plan for large events, and that your commitments aren't worth much. I can't really blame the opposition for trying to make some hay from it.

Jimmmmyyyyyy!!!
