And the previous PM, John Howard, was Bush's fellow in the War on Terra....so one wonders, if they are so danged enlightened, why don't they elect decent people instead of bigots and hate mongers? Hard to say....they have Gillard, the most bigoted Western leader currently in office, her words are nasty and she makes her nation look priggish.
