So, Australia will go to the polls on October 9. Howard said the central issue of the election, was trust, and the direction Australia will take over the next 10 years. In Howard's press conference he adapted a line from Ronald Reagan, a question that we all will ponder as we move toward the poll; Do you really believe Australia is better off now, than eight-and-a-half years ago?.
Speaking of trust, Philip Adams wrote an interesting piece in the Weekend Australian.
The Age, has an interesting piece about leadership and the differences between Howard, and Latham.
Howard will run on his record. Latham, is also focusing on truth and rebuilding the ladder of opportunity.
It is going to be a close election. Let’s hope for a positive campaign; a campaign that is about what the parties’ vision for the nation, and not the all too common negative slanging match.
