I was away for almost all of John Howard’s 12 years as Prime Minister, but I saw the Australian economy boom under his leadership and believed he was doing a good job. Unfortunately, he refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, sent soldiers into Afghanistan and made a farce of the Republic referendum against the wishes of the Australian people. I think voting him not only out of the top job, but also out of his own seat, shows that money isn’t as important to the Australian people as a just and sustainable world.
