RE, Asib – Howard was ousted over domestic political issues, particularly the recent interest rate rises and the botched introduction of his new WorkChoices employment legislation. To be honest, if Iraq and Kyoto were huge election issues he probably would have lost the last election rather than this one.

Flash Gordon – virtually nobody in Australia views gun control in terms of national security or resisting oppression. Australia’s culture fundamentally differs from the US’s in that respect. Both societies function adequately nonetheless; can’t we just leave it at that?
