The rest of the article is worth reading for an insight into Aussie politics, particularly George's little buddy.

kill off the Howard Government has less to do with broken promises
on interest rates — or even its draconian WorkChoices
industrial laws — and everything to do with restoring a moral
basis to our public life.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/australia-has-lost-its-moral-compass/2007/11/21/1195321862029.html"><P>Cynicism and deceitfulness have been the defining
characteristics of John Howard and his Government. They were brazen
enough to oversee the corruption of a UN welfare program. And when
they were found out, not one of them accepted ministerial
responsibility. Not Downer, not Vaile and certainly not Howard.
What they were doing was letting the cockies get their wheat sold
through the AWB while turning a blind eye to the AWB's unscrupulous
behaviour — illegally funding a regime Howard was arguing was
so bad it had to be changed by force.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7ECF69D3-C0B5-421F-9DA7-5F229E024792/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
