It's no secret that my political sympathies lean towards the left, and I don't have a lot of time for Tony Abbott and his ilk.

But credit where credit is due:

John Cormyn, Republican senator from Texas in what may be the first time I've ever used the words "Republican senator from Texas" in a positive context: legislating to reduce the horrendously-long backlog in processing of rape evidence.

Closer to home, Warren Entsch, a member of the Coalition who's been a long-term advocate for LGBTI rights here. I will note: he voted against the recent equal marriage bill, and I was disappointed to see that, but the article I've linked gives some explanation of his reasons for that decision. (I'm not sold on the arguments, but I can accept that he's sincere about them; it's a disagreement about strategies rather than objectives.)
