Howard flip flops - times three

There are some quite extraordinary things happening across the ditch. Despite the Libs winning control of the Senate last year, in the space of two days they have had to:

a) Abandon planned asylum seeker legislation under threat of it failing in the Senate

b) Allow a conscience vote on embryonic stem cell research; and

c) Agree that David Hicks be returned home if the US continues to fail to give him his unfair day in court

I guess on the last count John Howard and his Attorney-General are, as I was dubbed for pointing out the same thing, "traitors to the west".

I might start a site, a la Holden Republic, promoting gerontocracy.

But still the Lib-Nat coalition outpolls Labor, with Little Johnnie streets ahead of Beazley.

Leaving you guys with little to do but try and poke fun at the longevity of Australia's most successful Prime Minister in decades.

But hang on, as trendy Lefties, aren't you supposed to oppose age-ism as well as the other isms covering race and sex.

Still, it's a handy diversion from talking how Helen Clark used taxpayer funds to buy the election.

This Liar-bour government we have in New Zealand is so corrupt that after years of acting as Helen's Little Helpers, even the MSM is starting to notice.

Greetings from Christchurch, by the way, as my farewell tour of New Zealand enters its third week. It's lasting twice as long as expected, but I am enjoying myself.
