Martin Foley gets bonus points from this little black duck. Whilst his seat of Albert Park was still too close to call on Monday morning, Mr. Foley attended the 9am launch of World AIDS Day 2014 at Federation Square. Today’s show opens with Minister Foley sharing a very special letter he recently received from a constituent.
