Howard Government as a template.

 In a speech to the South Australian Liberal Party over the weekend, Tony Abbott promised to return Australia to the so called “golden years” his words not mine, of the Howard government, in it he gives a very good insight into his mindset and I quote some of his speech:

****

“The tradition of the Howard government would live on, he declared, in no small part because of the similarities between his frontbench and the ministerial team of the former PM.”

“Sixteen members of my frontbench were ministers in the Howard government''

''We won't have to learn on the job because we have done the job before”

“There won't be questions about the judgement of an incoming Coalition government because an incoming Coalition government has shown good judgement in the past”

****

Compared to previous Liberal-National Party Coalition Governments, I believe John Howard moved his Government to the far right with his policies he turned the Australian Society up side down and in the process changed Australia forever, I believe for the worst.

When John Howard and his Government brought in Workchoices that attacked the working conditions of average Australians he had gone to far and we through him and his far right Government out of office, he was disliked so much at the end, that he even lost his own seat, I think he was only the second Australian Prime Minister in history to lose Government and his seat at the same time.

In Tony Abbotts speech we have him using the Howard Government as a template for a possible future Tony Abbott led Government and will we get more of the same?
