Outrider,

Thanks for that link. That was no alternative view of Malcolm Fraser, it is the common informed opinion,

Fraser was a cynical, entitled S.O.B and he well earned those capital letters.

It is only the left-leaning media that spruiks the 'progressive' image of Fraser and the ABC leads the herd.

As most appreciate, it is all about the leftist 'Progressives' keeping up their narrative. Unnecessary because they have already won their cultural war, but maybe for socio-political legitimacy they are in need some 'heroes' of the revolution, even if the 'heroes' must be borrowed as cloaked as 'progressive'.

Malcolm in the end turned out to be a good man. He should never have sacked Gough Whitlam no matter how incompetent he was. Gillard and Rudd were far worse. Abbott is not much better and Turnbull will sell us out the international banksters even more so.

My memories of Malcolm Fraser are somewhat mixed.

Ignoring the controversial way he came to power and while I admire and respect his stance for human rights in his later years I recall a PM who left a legacy of social division and economic chaos.

In fact Hawke rose to power on the back of a feeling of "social reconciliation" where the country had been divided into warring groups.

Economically he doubled the unemployment rate while interest rates and inflation kept rising. While Whitlam had to cope with the beginning of global inflation, Fraser had to deal (unsuccessfully) with stagflation.

People also seem to have forgotten that his own Party split and formed the Democrats as a result of his hostile and controversial style.

He was also the last true Conservative Liberal leader.

All those that have followed are aggressive fundamentalist Neo-Cons who have abandoned the traditional conservative path of gradual and determined change in favour of implementing unregulated and free market economics at any cost and are truly the slaves of corporate and religious fundamentalist interests.

As best he held to his personal beliefs and turned his back on the current party principles and displayed a significant degree of humanity.

To his credit he implemented the concept of multiculturalism as a benefit to society and not a political tool to divide it.

Hear hear wobbles!
Rhrosty.

There were small l moderates like Fraser but now ideological extremists rule OK:

Its not that the Abbott Government is a support system for the media empire that supports Abbott
