Letters to the Editor

Botched Surgery


The Advertiser showed an early picture taken of Howard having an ear operation in Adelaide in 1995 due to a hearing defect from birth.

Obviously it could not have been successful as he has not heard the people when they said no war with Iraq or when they said no GST or when he was told there were no children thrown overboard or when told there were no evidence of WMD's or about kick backs to Hussein by the AWB or the evidence of Global Warming etc etc.
