How can any of Team Howard’s promises to fix, reform or improve things be taken seriously when they haven’t done those things during the past 11 years? This morning I saw an ad on TV from a Coalition candidate in a nearby electorate, telling voters how great a job the Coalition is going to do at getting our hospitals, our transport infrastructure, and our society working better – if they are given a fifth chance to do so.
The problem for Team Howard is that they can’t rely on their past record, because it is glaringly lacking in legitimate accomplishments. But after four terms of inaction and divisiveness, how can we believe that the fifth term would be different?
