Some people seem to think that the Howardian Era was a golden age - one in which the Govt was 100% in control and even driving economic growth and deterring would-be refugees...
Just because you didn't hear much negative about the Howard years doesn't mean that nothing much happened - much did happen but the media didn't seem inclined to hold Howard & Co to account...
Heck, unlike the current Lib Opposition, the then Lab Opposition didn't seem so disposed to whining about anything and everything - and the media focused a lot on the Opposition...
I would suggest that some people really need to try to take a step back and consider the extent to which their socio-economic, environmental and political perceptions and opinions have been systematically, albeit insidiously, manufactured through partisan propagandists...
The conservatives here should print this out and stick it on the wall above their monitor and read it every day.
Why, the difference between the two governments apart from idiology and eight and a half years, was the simple fact that the Howard government was competent which left the Labor Opposition little to respond to.
The current and previous Labor government are the most inept and incompetent in this countries history, giving the current Opposition much to crow about on a daily basis.
So I'm happy to read the above daily, but it doesn't get past the fact Labor are a mob of bumbling stumbling Mr Magoo's going from one crisis situation to another and they bungle and backflip their way through every policy they have put out.
"Oh Labor, you've done it again".
