Our GG has become lost among the flowers of Canberra for we never seem to see him doing his job. No, that part of the GG's job description has been taken over by John Howard. You are so on the spot with your analysis, Phillip. My wife and I have been talking about 'President John' for many years and his presidential 'syle' has become more ostentatious in recent times.
Have you ever seen John in a suit that is not dark- presidential?
Wrapping themselves in the Aussie flag ala Presidents from the USA has become derigeur for our political leaders.
Having Howard clones standing behind and in obeisance as our PM delivers yet another homily to 'his people'.
All the vestiges of the Presidential atmosphere that has cloaked our political system.
Yes, we have a president so why not let us have our President?
