Hi,
You would have to agree though, what a gracious farewell speech from Mr Howard.
That will never be forgotton.
Thankyou
Scott Clark

There is no way that Kevin has the discipline,intensity or will power of John Howard.Under a strong leader discipline can always be slackened,but with weak leaders like Morris Iemma,they just bring more decay.

I cannot see Kevin Rudd standing up the Unions or the feeble minded left.The "Me too" philosophy smacks of uninspiring rhetoric and equally uninspiring outcomes.

John Howard did not whimper or seek to find scape goats,he accepted the blame and took defeat with courage.He left us with the strongest economy in the developed world,and his detractors cannot take that from him.

It is early days yet,and I'm hoping that Kevin Rudd will surprise me.

“You would have to agree though, what a gracious farewell speech from Mr Howard.”

Yes I agree Scott. It was good.

One can only be thankful that it was Rudd and not Gillard speaking. Rudd has obviously crammed a "Book of Cliches" somewhere sometime, he may talk Mandarin, he also talks cliches. I do not think I have ever heard him speak a sensible, straight sentence.
