Kim Beazley Junior would make a better Prime Minister than John Winston Howard. So, however, would the average blue-tongue lizard or, in Bill Hayden parlance, would the average drover's dog.

Bomber Beazley demonstrated yet again in Parliament yesterday his unsuitability to lead the Australian Labor Party back into government. Not only does he blindly accept the nonsensical concept of a "war on terror", but he actually says that Howard pulled Australian troops out of Afghanistan too soon!
