It is now a few days into the Howard-less future of Australia. And what has changed?
Virtually nothing – no falling sky, no unions striking, no wage demands. Nothing.
Well – maybe just one thing – John Howard is missing. For eleven and a half years, Howard would be making comments on everything from politics to sport to entertainment, normally by starting with “Well – I am not going to be a commentator, but…” before he would attempt to marginalise some part of the electorate for his own personal gains.
And you know what? I feel much better that he is not clogging the airwaves.
Oh yes yes 1000 times yes since sat night it has felt as if this huge load has been lifted from my shoulders and once again i have the feeling that maybe just maybe i will be able to enjoy this country i came to 38 years ago which offered so much and has been all but distroyed by that evil divisive rodent Coward .
The joy of never having to hear the words ‘Foreign Minister Alexander Downer’ ever again is enough to make my heart feel 10 times lighter :P.
And also the fact that Andrews and Ruddock are no longer in control (?)
