I dont. Pollys are nowhere near as important as they 'think' they are.

You can make a case of one of those in desperate situations,
like say the great depression or a world war, but we dont need

And the poms gave him the bums rush very unceremoniously
indeed once the war had ended too.

The main thing in Howards favour is that he did at least have
the balls to put the GST to the vote. Unique, world wide. Tho
that was mostly because he had painted himself into a corner
