In response to How John Howard reshaped Australia – and not for the better

Myth making

The sanctity of both John Howard and Tony Abbot has become an article of faith among the right. Rewrite our history so that our values are more closely aligned to that of the USA. It will result in a national lurch to the right. Were the Liberal Party to embrace the values of the Teals the wind would be taken out of the far right and we could move back to some civilised discourse that seeks to find solutions for all Australians.
