I admit I haven't been reading Australian press for more than a year (I used to). In fact, I had been thinking of asking you about Howard's popularity and prospects for change.
Gus awaked it, I never touched it.
Howard is not popular, exactly, but the Opposition may well not be popularer. It is most lacklustre at present, with very lacklustre leadership, lacks the courage to stand up for what it believes in most areas, and is, in short, in the damn doldrums.
Meanwhile, the right, (while every state is in nominally progressive hands), is in full control federally, with control of both houses, although, even in this situation it has managed to lose a couple of key battles due to a couple of independents, and some of its own people crossing the floor.
It is busy dismantling workers' rights battled for over two hundred years of struggle, and doing other unspeakable things which are too depressing to mention.
