Lovely to see all the pigeons coming home to roost... and Howard is not the only 'elder statesperson' who is guilty of some dreadful things done to this nation.

The little pr1ck also brought in the stupid idea that those thrown under a bus with work and divorce and such should 'be responsible' by participating in stupid  schemes that did nothing for them.  Those thrown onto unemployment benefits and such were dictated to that they would 'responsibly support their kids' etc by a minimum charge that they could no way afford given the real value of such benefits, and their often lack of responsibility for any marriage breakup etc, this being primarily the women's domain these days.

If ever there was a candidate for the first public trial and hanging - it's him - and then his treasurer.

Then there are a few others at state level who need to face the guillotine and have their fat retirement cut off to pay for their crimes.

A cruel, selfish and vicious little man, the classical toxic dwarf and hater of others taller and better looking, handed the reins of a stupid government of a stupid nation that should always have known better.

You obviously didnt read the article.

Pissed the mining boom up against the wall with unwarranted tax cuts  and pork barrelling to win elections.

Not to mention all the other crap we still cant afford years later such as

Speaking of tax, Howard introduced the over-60 superannuation tax holiday, other super concessions, family payments to middle-income households, age-based tax concessions, and lots of income-tax breaks for middle to higher-income households. These have been difficult if not impossible to wind back and have increased inequality in Australia.

In short, Howard squandered the mining boom on buying votes and allowing miners to be lightly taxed.


In education, he dramatically increased federal funding to private schools ,which they largely spent on non-educational luxuries. He starved public schools. The result is the worsening scores Australia gets on national and international testing. Again, it has been difficult to unwind because of the demand that "no school should be worse off", which Julia Gillard was forced to accede to.

In health, Howard's government corroded Medicare by misdirecting money into tax deductions for inefficient private health insurance. Again, they are hard to unwind. Howard set the stage for the present return to the 1960s in the health system – one in which many people cannot afford to pay for healthcare.


With infrastructure, Howard was a master of the pork barrel. The regional partnership program was biased towards Coalition and marginal seats. We have mentioned the Defence joint HQ. The priority given to the Alice-to-Darwin railway was another big spend in a marginal seat, instead of being part of the orderly construction of a national rail network in which the Melbourne-Brisbane link was the obvious priority.

Better read the whole article cods!

That was his biggest problem - a toxic dwarf left too long in the top seat and thinking he was god... he thought he was invincible until his electorate threw him out on his arse - people take a long time to wake up but eventually they do.

A desperate little man, and when he was touring the country  pre-election and lobbed with our local ABC radio, I cornered him over the issue of two classes of pensioners - OAP and Disability - with DSPs not getting utilities allowance when many had extra power costs etc... the moment he was cornered, he immediately went to the party fall-back position and said that DSPs would henceforth be getting the utilities allowance. Well, well.... that was in the pack ready to go all along - he just needed to be confronted with it... talk about sneaky... if he hadn't been cornered it would have simply gone on.

I got the little rat there... and damned proud of it.  Cool

I think it is because as shown a lot of today's problems are based on what Howard had done back then. I don't agree with it all but a lot of it is spot on.

have you forgotten labors WHITE BOARD..


They all use white boards or the equivalent to work out where to put OUR money... you don't imagine they just leave it up to thought bubbles from one person, do you?  They put it all up there one way or another for a room full of experts and participants to look at and offer suggestions.  Is there some fundamental difference between a white board and a fancy projector with a laser stick?

The ONLY 'issue' with the infamous White Board was that apparently it showed favouritism for Labor and marginal seats.. well... nothing new at all there, but a fine piece of propaganda/theatre but ultimately meaningless other than as a political stunt and finger pointing over nothing unusual.

How do you imagine the big boys in the LNP work out where they're going to put OUR money, cods?  Just make it up on the fly?
