National Sorry John Howard Day
Nov 24^th, 2017 at 10:41am

On the 24th of November, 2007, Australians thought that a government that had eliminated nearly all federal government debt, lead the country into its 14th year of economic growth and one of the most prosperous periods of its economic history wasn't good enough. Instead, it caved into the charm of a neurotic, fluent mandarin speaking, tried to appeal to everyone but ended appealing to no-one dweeb known as Kevin Rudd. Thus began a period of incompetent federal governance led by the proceeding three leaders, combined with a federal government debt now exceeding $500 billion and a period of general economic stagnation, with the possibility of a clusterbugger recession.

Therefore, I propose that today be declared National Sorry John Howard day. Because regardless of how dorky you thought he was or how you hated his refugee policy or his views on gay marriage, economically things were bloody great and it's going to be a long time before things get to the way they were.

Also, Peter Costello was an idiot for leaving federal politics, the 2010 election would've been his for the taking!

Sorry it wasn't a larger landslide that did it.

Wee Johnnie sold off the furniture and installed tax cuts to the higher paid that have never been undone. Nothing competent about it in any way. He also shop-lifted the Futures Fund to the Caymans to evade tax and put his mate Peter Costello in charge of it at a handsome return, while stinging the lowest paid in the land $12 a fortnight for child support under some delusion of 'responsibility' but really as a measure to help 'his' budgetary problems. He also lead this nation into a 'just 'cause we can' war on false premises.

The sorriest John Howard day was the day he entered politics.

The little gutter rat was a complete failure! The last good PM before a long line of losers was the right honourable G Whitlam, now theres a man who deserves a national sorry day for the disgusting way scumbag Fraser undermined him. Shame liberals shame.

This is like apposing Israels apartheid system and then being called anti semitic. Oppose a political view, while having no emotions towards the person. Learn to differentiate Grendel, rather than knee jerk name calling.

Australia was one of the very few countries to survive the GFC relatively unscathed, thanks solely to John Howard and Peter Costello. The single most stupid, idiotic decision by voters in the last 40 years was to vote in Kevin Rudd. His time as Prime Minister was marked by debt, deficit, out of control spending and thousands of deaths (both Australians and foreigners) as a direct result of his government's policies. He is quite literally our worst-ever PM, which is no easy feat considering most people previously believed Gough Whitlam to be. Julia Gillard was an unmitigated disaster but thanks to Whitlam, she comes in a close 3rd followed by Malcolm Fraser and Paul Keating to round off the top five worst Prime Minister's since Federation.
