"Abbott was the single most destructive force ever in Aus politics,"


hmmmm --------------- IMO - - Abbott was the hammer -- but, the hand that held it was Howard

Howard designed the hammer, drew it up and let it get a life of it's own


he may not have intended the Abbotts of the world - and, certainly not the Morrisons -

but, he sure as hell designed the blueprint


now, in the last year - he's recognised the failure of what he calls -- 'the party' ---

he's yet to come to the realisation - that HE was 'the party' - he was the designer, he was the leader, he was the manager

I'm most interested to see if Howard does eventually publicly realise that he was the influence

it's a big step for a man to recognise when he's been so wrong ---------- does he have the guts to do it?

I don't know



but, the current Liberal Party - which was his deep love affair - is now - from his designs -

nothing more than a mix of 'Mars Attacks' and 'Swiss Army Man'


if it weren't so serious and didn't hurt people - it would be hilariously absurd
