Travesty of Justice if Howard Survives Today

It would be a national travesty of justice if John Howard were to survive today's election.

This is the politician who has treated the people of Australia with disdain for 33 years.

This is the Australian Treasurer under whose stewardship interest rates rose to 22%.

This is the Prime Minister who promised no GST and promised no interest rate rises and who later categorised election promises into "core" and "non-core" promises - the latter being able to be ignored with impunity!

This is the Prime Minister who created and falsified the Tampa "Children Overboard" scandal.

This is the Prime Minister who has used Australia's immigration laws to imprison children, detain innocent foreign nationals and deport Australian citizens unlawfully.

This is the Prime Minister who couldn't even have his Deputy around to his home for dinner in 11 years .

This man is a phone, a fraud and a dud who is well and truly passed his use-by date.

The only fitting send off for this rogue politician is for him to lose the election and to be unceremoniously dumped by the good people of Bennelong.
