Premier Howard and president who?

Premier Howard and president who?

Perhaps it's time for the Aussie Prime Minister to get serious
about getting on with the Republic of Australia, so that the
Australian people can have the opportunity to see which President
takes precedence, and so that at times a President could explain
a little more eloquently than a Prime Minister, the feelings
Australians express on issues that concern Earth,
or Bumi as it is in Bahasa Indonesia.

To see the eloquent Gareth Evans in Davos was a joy, which led
me to the question, would potential President Keating even want
the position? President Evans?

So much we see in the world today requires the deft touch of a
peacemaker, someone whose core being is rooted in the earth of
the nation they represent and the notion that all of that earth
and its water too, form all of our planet. Thank God Indonesia
has a President.

I just wish my old country would take the Thomas Jefferson
model a little more to heart.
