Those who lived during his dictatorship might remember a young journalist asking him, "Sir Joh, do you know what the term 'separation of powers' means?" I remember hearing it on the radio as I was driving to work. His answer was too hilarious for words. He stammered and stuttered and uhed and ummed, pretending to know but then asked the journo what she meant by it! It was an absolute clanger. He had no idea he couldn't inerfere with the police, thought he owned the lot. As for the brothels. Brothels? What brothels? The money in the paper bags? What money in what paper bags? Oh, those bags in the corner there? I don't know. And, (this one was one of his best) "people give me money all the time. I don't know what for..." He was good all right. That court case should had him behind bars for the rest of his pathetic and hitleric life and if it wasn't for a stinking religious nutter who thought he was God himself, he would have been sent to the clink!
Sold out most of the countryside the Japanes golf-course developers who, having gone broke, left the country ruined. He'd have all that coral reef turned into an oil swamp by now... Contemtuous bastard. One of the worst politicians Australia had the displeasure to encounter. Only Howard beat him but by not much. Howard had a bigger bunch of thugs doing his dirty work for him. Still does.
