Quote of the day:
“Please believe that we can win this election… The atmosphere in this election is extraordinary.” — Former prime minister John Howard speaking at a Chinese community function in the blue-ribbon Liberal electorate of Bradfield yesterday.
In a swipe at Julia Gillard, Howard said “real people don’t need to say that they’re real.” Meanwhile, another former prime minister was tellin’ it like it is on the campaign trail. Yes, K Rudd is back. Things just got interesting.
That rodent Howard sticks his head up the gormless wanker. Appears at a for the rich Libs fund raiser but hasnt got the guts to appear in supermarkets and on the streets for fear of the reception he will get from every day working Australians who cant stand the sight of the prik.
He reminds me of everything that stinks about his 12 year sodjurn in the top job. Abbott is tarnished with the same odour.
We knew Howard was back as soon as Abbott became leader of the Libs.
He- not Turnbull or Nelson – is Howard’s natural heir and Howard’s enthusiastic endorsement of him should remind all those who voted to get rid of Howard that if Abbott wins, Howard’s policies will be back- togteher with his weasel words and sleazy non- core promises.
Don’t let the budgie smugglers fool you- this is a man who claims to have been inspired by BL Santamaria!
@dylan3 …what was the most pathetic at that “function” last night was the sight of the rodent hugging the refugee from the Jesuits, arms all over him clutching a deleriously entranced Abbott to his bosom. This the man who fears the touch of a male, lest it be a gay advance. If ever there was a reminder what this country can expect under Abbotts Coalition, that photo revealed all. Howards policies reinvented and Workchoices? Oh welcome back you detestable policy , friend of business and stuff the workers of this country. Not dead, buried, cremated. Just on R and R awaiting the call to start the dirty deed all over.
