Good on him !!!
Former prime minister John Howard has lashed out at Kevin Rudd's handling of asylum seekers and accused his Government of wasting the nation's cash.
Mr Rudd's approval rating dropped considerably last week as the impasse continues over what to do with hundreds of Australia-bound asylum seekers who remain in limbo.
Mr Howard used an interview with The Sunday Telegraph to attack the Federal Government's so-called Indonesian solution and defended his own record on immigration.
"We stopped the boats coming. The facts speak for themselves. The Indonesian solution? Well, there doesn't seem to be one," he said.
"The current handling of the 78 people aboard the Customs ship? I'll refrain from comment on that ... but speaking robustly in defence of our policy - we stopped the boats.
"People knew where we stood. We didn't try and be all things to all men. The net result was support for immigration and a humanitarian refugee program increased.''
Mr Howard also claims the Government has achieved very little since defeating him in 2007 and took credit for Australia keeping its head above water during the global financial crisis.
"I can't think of a major thing it has done, except spend the bank balance that Costello and I left behind. Nothing else," he said.
"In our first two years we put our funds into surplus after a huge deficit, radically changed our gun laws and we got ready for the huge reform of the waterfront.
"We changed our industrial relations system and brought in individual contracts. We privatised 30 per cent of Telstra and we had announced a comprehensive review of the tax system.
"So I'm scratching ... even with the emissions trading system, what Mr Rudd is proposing is not all that different from what I took to the last election.
"Mr Rudd will say he had the global financial crisis to handle. Well, courtesy of us he was well endowed with money in the bank."

Johnny Coward is yesterday's news. The majority voted him out. He even lost his own seas. Sucked in Howard.
What have the Liberal's got now? Malcolm "shoot self in foot" Turnbull
I was embarrassed having such a racist PM. Now he wants another 15 minutes of fame. Nick of Johnny. Nobody wants to hear your rubbish anymore.
Kevin Rudd's a far superior PM than you ever were. |

Not sure whether Mr Howard reads this message board, but if he did he'd sure as hell find your comments amusing, in fact quite entertaining. For somebody who is supposed to be "yesterday's news", you certainly like to keep his profile current....lol
"What have the Liberal's got now"? "Malcolm "shoot self in foot" Turnbull"............on the other hand the laborites have "Kevin 'shoot Australia in the foot'K Rudd"........I know who I'd prefer.
"Kevin K_Rudd is a far superior PM than you ever were"...........
I'm sure Mr Howard is distraught by your words............lol
dropkick........you need dropkicking..... |

I just read this piece of sh1t and laughed my head off!
Howard once again claims that there was never any deal to hand over the PMship to Costello and also believes that they wouldn't have won the 2007 election if Costello was leader.
Still LYING through his snivelling rodent mug and STILL criticising Costello!!!
Does this man have any morals whatsoever??? Obviously not!
This man LIED to win elections and then agreed to INVADE another country because his boyfriend Bush told him to do so!
And wasn't it laughable to read that he wouldn't accept any job that Rudd might offer him!
The sheer arrogance of this bvmwipe! |

Isn't it a shame that Rudd's popularity nosedives over a racial issue?
Looks like the racists that helped Howard win elections are still around and spewing forth their racist views.
You can tell who they are - they begin every sentence with "I'm not a racist BUT..." |
