They're all extremely well qualified. She'd make a good leader, but the only thing that counts against her is she's a known quantity. It's a bit like in cricket: you can be excellent at the game, but when you've been around for a while, the opposition have plans to counter you. Less, for Shoebridge.

I don’t think they give a shit about what the neighbours think.
