Also never forget John Howard's legacy as Prime Minister:
- He refused to apologise to the Stolen Generations, and said even acknowledging it was "black armband history"
- He dragged Australia into America's illegal war, despite historic public opposition
- He oversaw the creation of a surveillance state in Australia
- He and his cronies enriched themselves while selling out Australia's natural resources (he's the reason our petrol and power prices are so high right now)
- he blocked any action on climate change
- he used Australia's relative strength to spy on, bully, and steal from smaller Pacific nations
- he imprisoned and demonised refugees and lied about it for political gain
For some reason the media still lionises him. Never forget that he's a racist little toad who set our country back decades. Always was, always will be.

@fullfathomfive 2003. Arrived as migrants with 100% optimism thinking we’d chosen the lucky and fair country with the brightest future. That little rat-cunning man was defying public protests and sending our defence forces off to fight someone else’s war as we touched down in Sydney. Words cannot express my disappointment in #auspol in the ensuing 23 years #Straya #Australia
