Johnny’s Voyage of Discovery
It’s amazing what bad polls will do. John Howard has embarked on an incredible voyage of discovery in the last few months of his current term.
In short order, he’s discovered climate change, updated broadband, autistic children and now indigenous reconciliation.
Are voters expected to totally ignore the fact that all these issues have been around the whole time he’s been in office?
This man has never been a leader’s bootlace. He’s always followed the line fed to him by his spinmeisters, and combined that with base cunning and good timing.
The irony in all this lies in the fact that his opponent operates in much the same manner.
It’s a pretty sad indictment of Australian politics.
