Hey, nobody's perfect.;) They sound like a bunch of regular blokes.:D Not arrogant elitists.

Maybe that's what we need more of here.....Like John Howard, I'd vote for him in a minute.

My personal favourite was Keating. He totally rebuilt the Australian economy from the ground up. It hurt like hell at the time but we ended up with a very robust, world class economy. The Liberal Party spent 11 years resting on Keatings laurels. He could gut you with a phrase. he referred to John Howard before the last election as a desiccated coconut.
