Election 2013: The daze of our lives

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd… or is that Prime Minister Abbott and Opposition leader Kevin Rudd.

Memory is always selective, particularly when it comes to politics. I’ll demonstrate.

I can only recall five decent things John Howard did during his time as Prime Minister.

1. The gun buyback.

2. The Do Not Call register.

3. That ‘delivery’ in Pakistan during an impromptu game of cricket with Australian soldiers.

4. His subsequent attempt to catch the ball and bowl another one.

5. Losing his seat in 2007.
