Hmmm ... worth remembering Howard is not a statesman nor has had a single good idea ... simply 'me-tooed' US neo-con ideologies after Keating lost favour with the electorate. The only exception worth recognition is Clinton's conservative policy to exinguish public debt which Bush abandoned immediately on becoming president.
Nevertheless, he is a 'rusted-on' monarchist long on hoping that Betty will give him a gong at some point.
