You misquote me simco. I said Howard was one of the worst not necessarily the worst. Plenty of others here have listed Howards lies and failures and the electorate dumped him in the most humiliating way possible for a PM to go down. The things you listed simco may or may not have had anything to do with Howard so if you are going to claim them as his achievements you first need to establish that he was directly responsible. His record is one of nothing major built in Australia during his reign, sold off public assets to pay off government debt, record high taxation, record high welfare payments, played the divisive race and religion card to drive a wedge through our society, traded wheat corruptly with Saddam Hussein and then invaded Iraq on a lie, etc etc etc. I suggest you read Costello's memoirs when the book comes out next month.
