Okay, so now he’s going to interfere in local government mergers being implemented in Queensland. Whatever you think of these mergers, this action is surely a bizarre act of desperation.

Howard hits states again – National – smh.com.au

It might work, but WEE hope that the good burghers of Queensland will see through this act. WEE hope they’ll see through Howard’s sudden feigned outrage at people being forced into these mergers.

Along with a hospital in Mersey in Tasmania one really has to take these interventions with a grain of salt. Howard is simply out of control. He will stop at nothing to get back in. It is kind of sad in a frightening way. As happened to poor Dawn in Welcome to the Dollhouse John Howard should really go home and right an essay on dignity. Because he is certainly not displaying any at the moment.

He is probably betting on the fact that no-one will remember all of these bizarre tactics if he wins the next federal election. He is really just trying to secure his place in history and hoping to hell he can leave the stage with dignity (the way he should have left late last year).

And he will stop at nothing to do it. He won’t mind trashing any convention to remain in power. He will tell any lie, slander anyone who gets in his way. It will either work (WEE hope it won’t) or he will retire a very diminished politician who will have trashed his (questionable) legacy for the sake of his own ego.
