Howard’s dirty laundry - it all comes out in the wash
January 17, 2008This article in The Age newspaper shows the true extent of the former Prime Minister’s close ties to The Exclusive Brethren.
CORRESPONDENCE between the Exclusive Brethren and John Howard reveals the religious sect had a warm and familiar relationship with the former prime minister and offered regular political advice.
The Age has obtained four letters in which unidentified sect leaders congratulated Mr Howard on the Iraq war and gave political advice about Medicare. The group also recommended massive water projects funded by the sale of Telstra.
How can the former Prime Minister claim to govern for all Australians, when he maintained close ties to a Religious group which doesn’t allow its own members to vote? It shows just how out of touch the former PM was during the last term of office.
