Glenn Milne The Australian “PM’s loose talk sparks tensions” |
From here on, says Milne, “every comment or action by either Howard or Costello will be viewed through the distorting prism of their increasingly visceral leadership contest.” It will be the same for the Government as a whole, which “will increasingly become gridlocked. All decisions will be weighed against the impact they have on either man’s ambitions.” And while Howard and Costello will “continue with the business of government,” their relations are now “shot through with suspicion … the trust, if there was any left after Howard dudded Costello on the leadership transition in mid 2003, has now completely gone.” And although Howard “still has the power of incumbency,” his “ill-discipline and self-indulgence in Athens has already ceded Costello the moral ascendancy and the political momentum.” Read here. |
