From an opinion article in The Age , which observes the tide of public opinion turning against Australia’s Prime Minister, John Howard.
A former Keating government press secretary told a story last week about a recent encounter he had with a Sydney taxi driver. “He was Chinese and I asked him who he would be voting for. He told me that ‘All Chinese people will be voting for Rudd because he has a happy face’.” And, Howard, conversely, has a sad face.
