Now with all the boat people coming to Australia I think history is going to judge Howard as one of the best Prime Ministers in Australian history. And Kevin Rudd's Government keeps denying that their policy has failed since they have removed TPVs and ended the Pacific solution. This is a lie, they just want to hide behind a smokescreen. People will see it for what it is. Labor are no longer the common man's party. They are a leftist party for those from Universities, elitists and radical lefties who ply their trade as feral protesters or lawyers with vested interests in having many detainees use their services.

Kevin Rudd wanted to put 'downward pressure' on interest rates when he first cam e to Government. The media has been complicit in this in totally forgetting this series of campaign and newly elected statements. Now he is doing the total opposite of fueling inflation and interest rates with a huge spending package (our taxes) and bank guarantees where banks will raise interest rates.

I have to say, as someone who lived through his reign, Howard was probably the most cynical politician of his generation. He exploiting peoples base fears in the aftermath of September 11 in order to get himself re-elected. The obvious political interference in the Haneef affair in the lead up to the 2007 election was the culmination of that cynicism, but the Australian public had grown weary of this ploy. History will not judge Howard kindly, and he knows it, even though he continues to fight it.
