    I remember marching against this stupid war and naturally the Howard government ignored public sentiment in favour of boot licking.

    It’s so embarrassing how Australian governments appear to be so obsequious to US administrations. Surely you’d earn more brownie points by holding out for a while than being first to tow the line.

      Those protests are still tbe biggest I have ever been a part of. It is so rare in Australia for that many people to take an interest in politics.
