We're not victims. *As a whole, we choose to segregate ourselves from the wider community when there are so many opportunities for us to show the general public we are good and productive citizens (drought, bushfires, etc.) It doesn't take much to lower debt and improve economy if you work a little hard, and it doesn't boot kissing of US to do any of that. I've met a few good australians who had quie a mouthful to say about howard being such a coward. And yes i think could do better than him as PM. It's just a PR job and management job.
