Gone but not forgiven
It seems that one elder statesman in the Liberal Party is not adverse to putting the boot into gone-with-a-whimper-not-a-bang John Winston Howard.
"MALCOLM Fraser has reopened his long-running feud with John Howard, accusing Mr Howard of opposing Australia's large intake of refugees after the Vietnam War.
Mr Fraser claims Mr Howard approached him in a corridor following a cabinet meeting in May 1977 and said: "We don't want too many of these people. We're doing this just for show, aren't we?"
The Australian article yesterday:
Wonder what other 'quotable quotes' will surface in coming months? Perhaps something which would indicate the younger John Howard's intentions in attending an anti-Vietnam War rally broken up by right wing elements.
