Yawn. Martin, when you get upset by the $2 billion spent on advertising and propaganda by the Howard Government will be the day I take your rants about public finances seriously. Oh, and if you are talking favours for mates, add Howard bailing his brother's company out with taxpayer funded money while you are at it!
