".... pork barrelling from the mining boom to keep buying himself extra time..."
For someone that talks a lot and has a superior air about your knowledge base, you sure don't know much.
While I am no fan of Howard and have stated on many an occasion ..... "Under Scrutinized and Over-rated"...
well, you really don't know your stuff.
At best the Coalition had 18 months of the increased revenues from the so called "Mining Boom". The ALP were the ones that p***ed the lion's share of it up against the wall.
I'm glad you are the major contributor for the Left as you are by far, the most flawed.
It would appear that Howard had only one desire as PM and that was to outlast Bob Menzies' stint as PM.
Yes he bought time, but he didn't get much more than one slice of the cake that was the "Mining Boom"!
