Prime Minister John Howard was called a “disgrace” today by an early morning walker.
Mr Howard was enjoying his regular early morning walk along the shore of Lake Burley Griffin when another walker shouted at him.
“You’re a disgrace John,” the man said.
“You’re such a bad economic manager.”
Mr Howard ignored the man, but a fellow walker defended the prime minister.
“Shut up you idiot,” a young man said in defence of Mr Howard.
“It isn’t his bad economic management that’s made him a disgrace,” the young man continued. “It’s his platform of race driven politics and his constant refusal to take responsibility for any of his mistakes or those of his ministers. It’s how he used xenophobia and hate-filled stereotypes to win the last election all the while LYING to the Australian people. It’s his refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol and his lackadaisical attitude to climate change. It’s his blatant denial of atrocities caused by previous governments on the countries earliest settlers and his refusal to offer an apology to bridge the gap and help a people who till this day are struggling. It’s his utter contempt and disdain for the Australian people who wish more from their leader than just tax cuts close to the election.”
The two hecklers hi-fived, while the Prime Minister continued walking muttering “Gay Aboriginal Muslim feminist commo-lefty tree hugging terrorist druggie scum. Get out of this country!”
