Blame Howard my friend...he one who made Hicks an election issue old mate.

The decency of the Australian people is what you're up against. Good luck.

Unfortunately for Howard, he underestimated the Australian people and their belief in a " fair go".

If Hick's had been dealt decently, none of this would have come back all over Johnny's face.

Howard has himself to blame for this becoming a political issue. The Australian public has spoken.

Live with it.
