John Howard's funny side

The press reports that the Coalition Government is making a push for the small business vote.

John Howard has many qualities, but I did not realise stand-up comedy was one of them.

I have run a successful small business for 20 years.

The levels of paperwork and compliance obligations have never been higher than under this Government.

And now their new bankruptcy legislation means that if I go broke, my wife's assets are on the line, as well as my own.

Maybe it's time we all packed it in and worked for the Government.

After all, it's our politicians who generate the wealth which makes Australia what it is, isn't it?
