"Piss off you black lover. The darkees will outbreed us you idiat. John Howard knows this mate. You think you are so cleva. You dumb prick. Imagine having millions of lazy blacks like the abos floatin' around. Then you can play daddy to 'em all. White Australia any day!" -- Hitler rocks (email address supplied). This comment was sent in response to a Bilegrip posting in March, Selfishness and racism are Howard's only hope.
"Julia Gillard is unfit to lead the country because she is deliberately barren." -- Senator Bill Heffernan, interviewed by The Bulletin magazine.
Standing side by side with these morons are Australia's business leaders, who are throwing everything at Labor over Industrial Relations. And no wonder. Thanks to John Howard, for the first time since the halcyon days of the 19th century's Industrial Revolution, the lords of business have got workers legally by the throat. And they do not intend to let go. Labor's intention to trash AWA's is in direct conflict with the business mentality of treating workers as they wish. Business is screaming that Kevin Rudd is in the pocket of the Unions, yet Little Johnny Howard lives in the nether end of the alimentary canal of business.
As Paul Keating said in an interview by Eleanor Hall on The World Today:
PAUL KEATING: Look, Eleanor. The right to collectively organise pay and conditions of work is a basic civil right, it's the thing that cuts out the template on a democratic nation.
When you say to people, you can't get together at work, you can't organise your conditions, you're back to the earlier part of the industrial revolution, and that's where Howard belongs.
What is at the core of John Howard's AWA policy? I'll tell you what it is - to stop two people or more talking about their conditions at work, to give you the sort of take it or leave it AWA. You know, in you come, and you sign up.
ELEANOR HALL: You've already said the Labor party at the moment is not selling its policy very well. What do you make of Julia Gillard's comments, telling business not to get into the political debate on IR? The Prime Minister says its bullyboy tactics. It was hardly sensible politics, was it?
PAUL KEATING: Bullyboy tactics. This is a guy who saw his government involved in the criminal breaking… the criminal breach of the Crimes Act on the industrial waterfront in Sydney in 1997-98.
This is the same Prime Minister who is now grinding 20-year-old kids … and women in retail back from sort of 12 bucks an hour to nine bucks an hour.
Be that as it may, guess what? Business will convince workers that they know what is best for them. In the end, the slow crawl back to the legendary "fair go" being offered by Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard will be crushed by John Howard Party budget bribes and a snow job via an advertising blizzard by business.
Most workers know WorkChoices will eventually return them to the status of servants at the mercy of masters. Yet, there is every likelihood that they will be persuaded to retain the status quo. This is the greatest indictment against democracy. Not that it cannot work, but that without the full participation of citizens it will continue to be run by what amounts to a legalised Mafia, that is, business, big and small.
It does seems incredible that people would vote against their own best interests, even though they always have. Why is this? Why do the masses refuse to take responsibility for their long-term wellbeing? Why do they continually offer themselves up as fodder for largely unscrupulous bosses?
The answer must be that they simply want to be told what to do. If they could think for themselves or put themselves in the shoes of others, they would never vote for a John Howard. In the end, there are those who tell people what to do, and the rest just want to be told. Cuthroats and cowards in an eternally sinister symbiosis.

Great Post! I've had faith in the intellect of the Australian populace for 11 long, frustrating years, to no avail. Let's all just hope and pray that the polls translate to what would be an incredibly satisfying experience - seeing John Howard and his repugnant ilk thrown out of office with the most spectacular disregard.
And what's with Peter Hendy? If there was ever a drone of Howardism, it's this bloke. Just the epitome of the liberal mouthpeice - a smug faced, ignorant, arrogant turd.
You guys should check out Andrew Bolt's Blog on the Herald Sun - the ineptitude of these morons is the reason why Howard was elected in the first place.

Exactly, Neo. The "satisfying experience" you speak of would rate as one of the biggies in most of our lives. Out on the streets with horns honking, embracing strangers like it was the end of World War II, all in the name of human decency and justice. Olney Garkle's wife thinks the electorate will come through and toss Howard and his henchmen into the oblivion they deserve, but why didn't they do it before? I'm a pessimist, I guess. Our only hope is that voters are simply tired of seeing Howard's repulsive face.
As Paul Keating said, Peter Hendy is a just a Liberal stooge ... don't take notice of him.

As people come to see Grovelling John for what he is, a two faced, lying, would be if he could be, little Hitler that is stuck in a bush (right up Bush's bum actually), there may be a chance the little turd may be flushed away at the next election. He will try more deception and lies, even the use of force, to stay in power, but I think the electorate is hurting enough to get rid of this severe pain in the arse once and for all.
Howard's WorkChoices law is straight out of the ideological framework of the USA's Rockefeller Foundation and the Hawthorn Experiments of the 1920's, and is as was put into action in Hitler's Germany, with the belssing and funding of the biggest of businesses of that era.
Today we see the giant multinational corporations supporting and using the same fascist ideology, same fascist law to their own advantage with the connivance of their little puppet (or is it poopit) G.J. R. Slicker-Howard. Howard, the sly, sneaky little arsehole has divided his fascist laws into anti worker IR laws, anti people social laws and anti commonsense 'terrorism' laws; all designed to try and con the populace he is not introducing Hitler's (Rockefeller's) fascist laws into Australia to be used against the common people.
Hopefully, we may perhaps see scenes of happiness (I remember it well) reminicent of the end of WW2 as Mr Grovelling John R Slicker-Howard is tossed onto the scrap heap where he belongs. Tossed on the scrap heap with the rest of his crumbling, crappy cronies battering and abusing him, just as he has battered and abused any sense of decency, honesty and fair play Australia ever had.
