Here here! 
 
When I learnt that the Howard government has squandered billions of dollars on promoting themselves and supporting the unsustainable coal and nuclear industries I felt angry too. I agree that we never wanted the illegal wars of aggression and plunder in Afghanistan and Iraq. 
 
Nor did we want our government to block indigenous peoples' rights in the UN. How many Australians would be happy to know that the Howard government want to continue to allow torture? Your government does not represent you at the United Nations either. 
 
I get especially angry when I hear that the poorest people in this country are having to give food to their children and go hungry themselves. This is what happens in Africa. The Howard "strong economy" is a brittle and unsustainable casino economy where the gap between rich and poor is growing ever wider. 
 
We have to vote the Howard government out of public life and make sure we don't give the Labor Party too much of an easy run. Elect lots of Greens Senators and Vote 1 for Greens in the House of Representatives. If we decided to give our preferences to ALP it is only because we would find it unconscionable to vote Liberal.
