"..electorate does not much like flamboyant leaders.."

Sober, but a power walker for reform
February 21, 2006

The Prime Minister's policy agenda makes him the most significant Liberal leader, writes Gerard Henderson.
"There have been a lot of exaggerations about the Howard Government. Its foreign policy is consistent with that of its predecessors and it has not been as socially conservative as many of its critics allege. It is on economic policy, however, that the Howard Government has made its mark and here it has been more successful than the Menzies and Fraser administrations. A theme for Liberals and Nationals to consider as they stroll, or jog, down the R.G. Menzies Walk."

Gerard Henderson is executive director of the Sydney Institute.
