Denben, must be getting nearly unbearable for you with many of your comrades not posting as much. Perhaps they have finally given up. How pathetic to bring up Howard after all those years since he was PM Anyway,you should have another read of your first line re his GST so called lie. This has been brought up many times in the past by your fellow comrades. Facts...he took the GST to the elections in 1998 and narrowly got re elected. So anyone with an ounce of brains should see he didnt lie,he did the honourable thing and put it to the voters,unlike Gillard who just went back on her promise big time. Do you understand now Denben or perhaps you just can't face the facts that your beloved PM lied and has gone downhill ever since.
