Biggest joke of the day - The President's award to John Howard - known throughout the land for his lack of compassion and his clinging on to values belong to colonialism at its worst.
This is the man who is denial about the wrong done to our indiginous people and their need to have an apology before they can move on. The man who locked up the innocent children of illegal immigrants for months and years. (all illegal immigrants fleeing another country to come to "freedom" must be terrorists of course). The man who blindly followed Dubya everywhere like a lap dog.
Let's hope the world had moved on and "hope" for humanity is part of our lives.
