"We Have Our Country Back". [View All]

[Matilda]

A short but wonderful piece from Alan Ramsey in today Sydney Morning Herald, starts with these
words, and continues:

"John Howard's Australia died with his government on Saturday night. So did the political careers of a whole raft of Coalition MPs. The final casualty list depends on how the count concludes in a few undecided seats, Howard's among them. It couldn't be more exquisite than that the Labor iceberg should take our outgoing prime minister down, too. Nobody is more deserving of oblivion."

He calls the Howard Government the "nastiest, meanest, most miserable, self-absorbed Commonwealth government to blight Australia in living memory" and ends:

"Now, while Costello sits on the backbench for three years, honouring his commitment to his voters in his Melbourne seat, what should happen is those other political misfits like Alexander Downer, Philip Ruddock and Tony Abbott should think about another life outside politics. None are part of the Liberals' future.

For God's sake, go and make our Christmas complete."

And yes, it is a good feeling to have our country back, and hold our heads up again.
