I have been in oz for about 18 yrs, but I believe that John Hewson only lost the election because of the worst PR advice you can get.
There was nothing wrong with the GST, but he seemed to be restricted from talking about it and properly explaining it.
I take my hat of to John Hewson, and would like to stress that he is the man that we all should wish for as a leader for this country.
