lia,

It's just as wrong to presume that Howard is finished as it is to presume that Howard's re-election in 2007 is inevitable. Too many people made that mistake in 1998, 2001 and 2004. I have a hard copy of an article by Sydney Morning Herald journalist Alan Ramsey from early 2001 which treated Howard's demise at the elections scheduled later that year as a foregone conclusion for a large number of also compelling reasons.

And, before that we can thank the likes of Paul Keating, who helped to lull progressive Australians into not treating Howard as a serious threat, for the fact that he won office in 1996.
