Help Wanted: no bleedin' hearts, trade unionists or furriners need apply

It seems that former Prime Minister John Howard is availing himself of part of his 'retirement' package by advertising for a research assistant cum personal adviser.
This is a taxpayer-funded position to the tune of between $62,124 and $74,516 a year according to newspaper reports.
Apparently the hired staffer will assist with preparation for his Washington trip in March.
Yeah, like I really want my taxes to go towards helping Howard strut the world stage.
Australia sacked you, John. So for goodness sake do us all a favour, and just fade away into a very private and inexpensive twilight.
