Just into your book and it's confirming everything I've been so depressed about over the last few years. Howard is the least conservative prime minister. He is dismantling every sensible convention and destroying public confidence in our public service by politicising. Every now and then he mentions Senate reform and this really concerns me. Yet my in-laws say he presents well! I have just joined The Greens but I think things are more desperate - I don't think that we can wait for The Greens to win enough support.
