Requiem for a lost country, page-34

well dear friend

then look no further than Joh Winston Howard - who arrogantly prounouced for decades that he was right

he ran his side of the political fence, knowing that he was right, he ran the nation, knowing that he was right,

he left a legacy which bred people like Abbott and Morrison - because he thought he was right and convinced them that he was right


unfortunately ---------------------- he was wrong


and, is only now recognising it AND admitting that the 'party' was wrong

(he hasn't come yet to be able to see that it was he who was wrong and the party followed - but, that will come).
