John Winston Howard springs to mind , remember highest interests rates in this countries history(Mortgage rates were capped by law but the bill rate wasn't so that reflected the economic reality). The pain of the early eighties recession with double digit unemployment."
I would have thought you must clearly be in the minority with those comments. If he was so bad it makes you wonder why John Howard then went on to win the
and yes, he did lose the 2007 election but governments all over the world have lost their last election (US, Britain, New Zealand etc). On a further note the person who beat him at the 2007 election, who I voted for, Mr Rudd himself has since been disposed of.
I must admit, I wish John Howard or Peter Costello had been the Treasurer for the last approximate 3 years.
