Howard's ethics seeks reverence with the Queen about war in Iraq? Or about Dr... Hollingworths worth?


Most learned Australians would argue that killing innocent families including children in Iraq to fix the problem [lack of resources] also had no valid principals, values, morals or ethics.


PRIME Minister John Howard who is responsible for Australia's army killing innocent families including children in Iraq has spent an hour with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, while the furore over Governor-General Peter Hollingworth continues to grow back home.


The meeting, the PM's first with the Queen this year, was expected to include discussion about the pressure on Dr Hollingworth to step down.

In this instants if Howard were to be discussing Dr Hollingworth in relation to his ethics, as Governor General then it would have to be said in my respectful view that this is the pot calling the kettle black.

But details of the meeting are not expected to be revealed by the prime minister who has grown increasingly testy with questions about the issue.

Howard has been out of the country since a report by the Anglican church found Dr Hollingworth failed to properly deal with sexual abuse claims while he was Brisbane archbishop.

But most learned Australians would argue that killing innocent families including children in Iraq to fix the problem also had no valid principals, values, morals or ethics. And indeed with the greatest respect a contradiction within itself for Howard in terms of Dr Hollinworth's handling of child sexual abuse.

In his only public comment on the report, Mr Howard said he could see no reason for him to recommend to the Queen that Dr Hollingworth be sacked. In short Howard's behaviour since sending our militants to Iraq leaves his own ethics questionable in the eyes of the innocent victims families and friends and Howard knows it.

Today, when questioned again about the issue and polls showing strong support for Dr Hollingworth's removal, Howard refused to answer. But the polls apparently approved the war in Iraq and the killing and maiming of innocent families in Iraq so why should news polls dubbed news propaganda pill's by GKCNN have any issue with the PM indeed? Polls don't tell you how much your worth as a human being who is blown to bits because you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Polls tell you about your political career correct me if I am wrong.

Howard "I don't have anything to add to what I've previously said on that issue," he replied.

The Hollingworth issue is clouding efforts by Howard to focus on the post-war Iraq reconstruction [?] talks he has had with the United States and will take up with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The two leaders will have something to celebrate when they meet, with Howard to present Mr Blair with half a dozen Australian red wines to mark the British PM's 50th birthday this week.

Once his British engagements are concluded, Howard will head to Doha in Qatar to meet some of the 2000 Australian militants who were involved in the resource war in Iraq.

The pressure on Peter Hollingworth to resign as Governor-General intensified last night as three Anglican bishops said it was time for their former colleague to step down. "Australians deserve unequivocal ethical behaviour and best practice in all aspects of community leadership," said the Bishop of Bathurst, Richard Hurford. Divisions within the Howard Government over the Governor-General's future became more obvious yesterday when some ministers appeared to urge Dr Hollingworth to ride out the storm.

But he had little support from his church, which is reeling from an inquiry's finding that Dr Hollingworth failed to deal with child sex offenders among the clergy when he was Archbishop of Brisbane.

The Bishop of Armidale, Peter Brain, was forthright. "He hasn't got much choice. I feel for him and his wife and their personal circumstances. But the more I've thought about it the more I think he should resign, for the sake [of the office] and for the sake of the church."

Last night, a Government House spokesman said the Governor-General was hanging on and had "no current plans" to attempt to explain himself further to the public - a day after a Herald, ACNielsen poll revealed 76 per cent of Australians want him to quit.

The Anglican Primate, Peter Carnley, has already admitted the church has been seriously damaged by the scandal - but Bishop Hurford said there was more at stake than the church's reputation. "Public perception has become the reality and it would appear that Dr Hollingworth's position has become untenable. While the Governor-General alone must make the decision whether to remain or to relinquish the office, it is now imperative that the moral authority of the office of the Governor-General is not squandered."

The Bishop of Newcastle, Roger Herft, said that if he was in Dr Hollingworth's shoes, his course of action would be clear. "With such a significant proportion of people saying the position [of Governor-General] is being diminished - and even given concerns that my successor could face similar mauling - for the good of the nation I would say it is time for me to move on."

An advocate for a Wagga Wagga woman says the office of Governor-General has been sullied by the report into Dr Peter Hollingworth's handling of child sexual abuse cases.

An Anglican Church report has found Dr Hollingworth should have been more compassionate in recognising the wrong suffered by the Wagga woman who, when she was 15, had a sexual relationship with a priest who later became a bishop. Since the report's release last week, calls for the Governor-General to stand down have continued, but the Prime Minister is sticking by Dr Hollingworth.

The woman's advocate, Wendy McCarthy, says the former Archbishop of Brisbane failed to respond at a proper level. She says while Dr Hollingworth apologised to her friend, it was only after the Australian Story television program. "If you damage the role of the bishopric, you damage the role of the priesthood and you're now damaging the role of governor-general. I mean...I don't care one thing about the individual concerned, but I do care about the institution that person has represented," she said. Ms McCarthy says the Wagga woman has not sought compensation, but she believes she should. "She hasn't had emotional support, psychological compensation, nobody's paid for her to have a counsellor, nobody's given her a chance to go back and be retrained and re-educated," she said. "She's had no opportunities offered to her by the church except a rather mealy-mouthed apology after Australian Story."


Boat people and John Howard don't have anything in common because John Howard can't put himself in the same boat and that's the problem. Howard never once stopped to think about having his son or daughter or family member under a bomb to fix the problem in Iraq or he would never have joined the coalition of pre-emptive terrorists wagging war on innocent people.

THE LEADER: If you lead by example you will always have the ability to change the values of the whole community and sadly we have been disgraced by the Howard government who stumbles to make any ground in relation to Human Rights in Australian in 2003.
