Fabulous, thank you. Bishop was efficient and a politician with some spirit as was Howard seemingly . But maybe that was largely due to Anderson's influence, Howard did tarnish himself imo, as a lap dog to the US led invasion of Iraq under false pretences. I guess he thought he had no choice really after Bush drew the line in the sand. Keating was a jewell, perhaps the last one with the integrity to lie with conviction -- he had a special way with words. Those others were before my time so know only of what I have read. My real concern is the political divide due to covid, I agree it has become the dominant issue of our time which is a shame, as climate change could do with support for furthering our understanding of what's driving it. The health issue , and consequences, brought about by the sudden appearance of the sars 2 virus is similar in so many ways to the security issues and consequences, brought on by the events of 9/11. That is a trend of sorts , negative influences on society not easily resolvable.
