@Sailor FNQ; when was the last time you took a look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, China and even Indonesia and the Pacific?
Please explain how Howard's unprecedented core policy of $Feeding $Greed delivered a more secure Australia - don't forget that when people woke up to his crap he was even DUMPED from his own safe seat by disgusted voters.
Howard's greatest achievements: 1. Preventing Peter Costello from becoming PM 2. Improved gun control throughout Australia
Howard's greatest failures INCLUDE but are not limited to: 1. His legacy: water, corruption of Australia's education systems & constant denigration of public school teachers, legitimising the violation of human rights, environmental vandalism, delaying and knee-capping the NBN, starving major public infrastructure projects of funding, delivering superannuation to Australia's wealthiest people, ..... 2. Termination of Menzies 'small 'l' Liberal Party - converting it to a far right wing reactionary one serving wealth and privilege. 3. Delivery of Abbott, Morrison and Dutton as his successors to 'lead' the Liberal Party down its 'Road to Ruin'.
