John Howard questions ‘anti-Liberal’ agenda of ‘fake’ independents

Former Prime Minister John Howard has questioned “fake” independents whose main objective is to “pull down Liberals”.

“These people are anti-Liberal and the reason I say that with complete conviction is that they’re not running in any safe Labor seats,” Mr Howard told Sky News host Paul Murray.

Mr Howard pointed out that the “fake” independents aren’t running against Labor MPs like Tanya Plibersek.

The former Prime Minister added that the consequence of electing one of the independents is there will be “one name taken out of the Liberal list”.

After the shameless and brutal affront on our personal Civil Liberties Choices, Freedoms and Rights, Pollies acting like they had nothing to do with thoughtless, divisive mandate policies that have left thousands of perfectly good and healthy workers sitting at home idle, weighing down heavily and devastating the economy, triggering widespread industrial unrest for short-manned overworked workers amid employers struggling to fill vacancies, and runaway rampant inflation prices spiralling out of control, hurting the economy and every other common person. An own goal. Pretending the dumb-ass idiotic policy is someone else’s to avoid responsibility does not mean it will go away. And now they want us to get them back. Should we really be that foolish?

'Yeah, I believed WMD was there, because the US told me, and I didn't ask for confirmation from their own intelligence, because, you know, I'm pathetic...'.

Yeah John, and? If your candidate does their job well, they'll win, won't they. If they haven't, didn't, or won't, they don't deserve to win. It's really a simple equation. The only thing is, that any who are new have to be vetted by those who choose, so they don't get someone as bad, or worse.
