Howard still stands triumphant as the least honest leader we have ever had.
Howard's only real skill was his ability to win elections.
He worked out the formula that you only had to fool 51% of the people once every three years.
To get this 51% he used, manufactured and/or lied about:
There will never ever ever be a GST under any government I lead.
Children overboard and the Tampa
The waterfront dispute.
Iraq war
Who do you trust?
WMD'S
NT intervention.
ETC.
Quote:Liberal senator and member of the committee that first investigated the children overboard affair, George Brandis, said of Howard "He is a lying rodent" and "We've got to go off and cover his arse again on this."
Yes George had to go into the children overboard investigation and tell lies to defend what he knew to be Howard's lies and he didn't much like it.
Gillard: No carbon tax.
Swan: That's hysterical.
