Default John Howard Seeks 5th Term

Hooray its official - John Howard is going to run for PM again. Which means that the unelectable buffoon Beazley wont have a chance.

One wag in the press said ' Beazley has given the electorate an impossible choice -keep the IR Laws or Him as Prime Minister'.

I see that the advertsllegal for the IR Laws taken out on TV by the unions were ruled to have complaints of untruthful advertising upheld because they were not based on truth - in fact all of the people talking on TV about being unfairly dismissed as a result of the IR Laws were either fired under old legislation or dismissed for non performance. Nice.... If only those union leaders spent the time working to negotiate instead of starting fights so that they can protect their own position( like beazley )

Another reason to move TO Australia. Howard is a great PM. Beazley is a total buffoon. Another term for Howard will mean more IR laws, more dismantling of unions etc. Australia will keep moving to the right, the entrenched socialism in Australian society will be diminished & Australia will be a better place for it.

Right is right.

I don't like Blair much but comrade Brown scares me.

Good luck to the UK when this idiot becomes PM. You're gonna need it.
