The insult made by BonnieDundee against Mr. Howard is bizarre.

I thought Mr. Howard came across very well on television. Australians were right to elect him four times as Prime Minister: pity he didn't win the last election there. Many people in Australia are already missing him, so I am told. There are a huge number of Australians who regard Mr. Howard as their best Prime Minister since the days of Sir Robert Menzies.

And you are right to point out , RJT, that Mr. Howard - who gave Australia a loud voice in world affairs - was one of the few leaders to speak out against the tyrant Mugabe.
