Don't be too certain. Howard basically ran most
of his election campaign this time around on linking
the issue of his disgraceful treatment of refugees
to some people flying aeroplanes into buildings
in NY. He didn't really come up with much policy
because he didn't need to - this was enough to
turn what looked like a certain change of government
into a swing towards the coalition (they got less
than half of the vote last time around but got in
due to the way electoral boundaries work).
