1. Peter Cosgrove is on the public record as a supporter of the conservative Liberal Arts Campion College. This is therefore a wonderful appointment. ACU is moving in the right direction.

2. This is an interesting appointment but I suggest that Peter Cosgrove attend some classes in English - 'churning out' teachers and nurses is not the best way to describe these two profesions.
   Teaching currently suffers from the fact that teachers were churned out and so teaching is not any longer a vocation. He has some way to go to restore my faith in him. We will see. Marvellous how a 'name' means that you pick up all sorts of appointments.

3. Gloria: that includes Religious persuasion too.
   So many ambitious politicians tend to make it known to whom they are affiliated with, where as their principles and integerity should be what sets them apart. - Bendigo, Vic

4. His appointment as CDF was thanks to John Howard who came across him in East Timor, liked him, and appointed him ahead of others better credentialed.
   Peter Cosgrave certainly did not distinguish himself in the 'children overboard' fiasco where he supported the then-government's stance.
   It took his successor, Angus Houston to stand up and tell it like it was. I thought his appearance on Q & A recently was very ordinary. I regard this as a disapointing appointment. - Melbourne, Vic
