SMH June 10, 1999 Howard's way http://www.smh.com.au/news/9906/10/text/features1.html ...."Howard's efforts to ensure every government appointment is vetted are only part of a broader phenomenon which the Australian Democrats' leader Meg Lees recently described as an agenda to "stop all dissent, to actually push aside or eliminate from any public view all those who oppose them or in any way disagree with them". The politicisation of the bureaucracy as never before, the spending of taxpayers' money on partisan advertising (at a rate several times that of the Keating Government), the nobbling of independent review bodies are all part of it."..... Isn't this an interesting observation for someone who now suffers from the same disease?
