John Howard - you won't be missed.
Meanwhile back in the US........
The rodent lost because the electoral boundaries of Bennelong moved North and included Eastwood which is predominantly Korean (Asian). His documented history of belittling Asians sealed his fate.
Nothing to do with Rudd or McKew. Alexander now holds Bennalong easily, McKew lost to Alexander at the next election.
Later at the by-election contested by blond bimbo Keneally (I was booth captain for labor at Epping Boys polling station) was a disaster, labor then lost the 2019 election. Alexander still holds the seat despite two elections and a by-election as he courts the Asian vote. He is also a good local member who despite his politics, I have a lot of time for.
Howard was an awful PM, he inherited a booming economy thanks to Keating, both predicted and was delighted to see his demise. Only the second PM in history to lose his own seat.
