A future referrendum on Aboriginal Reconcilliation? Yeah Right!
This would have to be John Howard’s most strident example of the cynicism, hubris and outright deceit that have been the hallmarks of his sadly overlong stewardship of our great country.
For him to announce these intentions (reconcilliation) mere days prior to announcing the upcoming federal election date is the absolute height of arrogance and a clear demonstration of his belated awakening to the fact that the overwhealming majority of decent Australian people have had a gutsfull of him, his government and his dogma.
His decision to hold a referrendum on the subject “IF WE ARE KIND ENOUGH TO RE-ELECT HIM” and his band of ultra right-wing regressionists simply smacks of a last ditch attempt to try to con us all into trusting him ONE MORE TIME!
I for one Do Not and WILL NOT, and I urge all decent thinking Australians to do the same.
Let us all make sure that our future Australian History books (yet another area of belated interest by John Howard) will rightly note that he was one of only two Australian prime ministers who lost office AND their seat in parliament via a federal election. It is also interesting to note that the first to do so was also an ultra-conservative who tried to dissmantle the ordinary Australian worker’s pay and conditions to the advantage of no-one bar big business.
Coincidence? I think not!
