#SApol #LiberalParty talking head on #ABC is quoting #JohnHoward AKA #TheKissOfDeath

There’s their problem. #SAvotes #auspol

And as a result, we have #AlboPM doing a #JohnHoward and sending #ADF personnel to the war zone. What a clusterfuck.

@earthmothering9 Oh wow, a whole book on where it all went wrong? Bold of Amy to assume it didn't start going wrong the second Little Johnny picked up the keys to the lodge. Enjoy the read—may it come with a strong coffee and even stronger sense of impending generational doom

IS THIS THE SPEECH OF THE DECADE? Amy Remeikis comes out with guns blazing on the back of her new book 'Where It All Went Wrong: The Case Against John Howard'. If you are sick of political doublespeak and sick of our dysfunctional economy, you will love this. I'm buying the book!! Please boost! @auspol #JohnHoward

The 'Bringing Them Home' report on the #racist seizure of #AboriginalAustralian children was released in 1997, but Liberal #JohnHoward refused apology. In 2008 on #ThisDayInHistory, under Labor's #KevinRudd, an apology for the barbaric #WhiteSupremacist practice was finally made.
