  • then downer became the longest serving foreign affairs minister LOL

  • He certainly had the nicest legs of any foreign minister... love those fishnets. At least he didn't eat his own earwax.

  • Was it just a honeymoon period,with those polls at that time why was he ditched for John Howard

  • He was ditched after making some serious gaffs, most famous of which was his "The things that batter" quip in reference to the Liberal Party's domestic violence policy. After that his popularity took a nose dive, Johnny Howard bought some eyebrow clippers, and before you could blink, it was Lazarus for P.M.

  • Uh oh, Keating better watch out - Downer seems unstoppable.

  • Hasn't changed a bit.

  • @ruddsadudd And he wasn't so bad either!

  • Sheesh. Looks like the alarmist language of the Libs used today is nothing new.

    "rip up the flag" and "rip up the Australian Constitution"?

    Give me a break. Can't believe so many Australians are so dumb that they can't see through this shit.

  • @labuff83 Yep that looks like her, a much younger version of course!

  • Lol, "nosedived by fifteen percentage points".

    Interesting how language changes with the times and consolidated a more quick to the point feel, nowadays you'd just say "fifteen percent."

  • Man I remember that flag debate.

    Who is the news reader? I can't remember her name.

  • He would have made a good PM, that's for sure! Better than Turnbull and Nelson easily!

  • Poor Alex, didn't even get to fight an election as leader.
