Howards basic overall culture was a dismal and catastrophic fail - his 'do nothing' architecture - at least 'do nothing where you can' he said it himself -------- unfortunately - decades late with the revelation 'we thought we'd be alright if we just watched the spending' 'we were wrong' - 'times had changed and we didn't realise it' and still to this day - even after such a revelation in the head of Howard - the Liberal Party and conservatives STILL operate like Howard's cultural catastrophe designed STILL ------------ how can they not get it? After even Howard stated it? it wasn't one thing that Howard did - it was an entire ideology --------- and, it still exists in them

Well put. The parties of LNP are dying. My view is the spread of new independents will continue to grow. Especially in the burbs of the big cities first. We need change. I think many are getting it now. Led by the young. The old farts like me maybe not. But they need to for their children and their legacy.
