Johnnie is clearly in way over his head. I missed the speech myself, I'm not sad to say. Think I was with a bunch of other drunks singing The Wild Colonial Boy on the back balcony of a Melbourne restaurant that night. Until one of the staff popped his head around the corner and reminded us it was "a residential area y'know". That made our day. ;-)
The thing is, where the hell are these pollsters finding the people who supposedly support this war? I've yet to meet anyone who admits to such a position. More and more Australians are openly contemptuous. Way over his head.
So what was the "openly anti-French rhetoric" anyhow. He's really clutching at straws if he thinks that might get a guernsey.
