good news for aussies
latest polls indicate a victory for the labor party in the forthcoming election.

labor 54%
liberal (conservatives) 46%

years of constant lying and manipulation have come back to haunt Howard. I look forward to joint celebrations with my american and british friends as the war criminals are unseated one by one..

1. Do you think Howard will really get voted out?
I view him with the same disrespect and distrust that I do Bushco - but wasn't he re-elected after the "refugees in the drink" disaster?

3. Well, dudeness, I certainly hope the Australian voters
won't get fooled again. Howard is as bad for you folks as Shrub is for us. Australia is very important to the US; we need you folks, like Canada, to help keep us "grounded".

I'm visiting the Sydney Morning Herald later on - I read the Australian papers nearly as much as I do those scattered all over the US!

7. Would it be to his advantage to call it early?
I would think, with the facts coming to light, he'd want to wait. But when he goes, does that slimy Foreign Minister, Downer, go with him? Go Labor!!!
