Malcolm Fraser?..... I couldn't stand him when he was PM, soooo arrogant !!..... But he improved when he lost that job!

I think he has improved, too, Vintage ...

But, I also have concerns about how his followers in leadership have deteriorated ... Howard, Mr Inept, Malc (although he's got potential), Abbot (Mr Inelectable). Have I forgotten anyone?

i think you actually need to be in office to be a statesman, good or bad. so far, he's proved to be a corporate banker witha bit of polish. he claims to have vision .. believe in this and believes in that.. but takes his seat with the most negative and clueless bunch ever to grace the oppn benches.

Vintage ... I think I was thinking of HEWSON. Do you remember him? Of course, I could also have been thinking of Madame Whosit ... whatshername? Toted as a potential leader and lost all hope after the GST initial debacle.

Still, I can't believe I'm posting this. Malcolm F, enemy #1, the bad guy, the guy who said "life wasn't meant to be easy", the guy the nation laughed at when he lost his pants, the guy who lost to Bob Hawke while I cheered.

And now, I look at Fraser, and I think, what a great guy he is, in comparison.

Ahhh Malcolm Fraser - the scourge of the Liberal Party lol!

What is it with left winged Liberals all being called Mal? He was a decent enough politician and Prime Minister (Vietnam conscription aside) and isn't afraid to tell the Liberal Party they are a bunch of twits these days - what's not to love?

To be fair, he became PM Vietnam in 1972 , he became Minister for Defense in 1969 but resigned in 1971

"Often known as conscription, the National Service Scheme was introduced by the Menzies Government in November 1964"
