Desparate Howard feigns sorrow

Howard's desperation about the the election he is so terrified to call has not affected his long history of a self seeking twisting of every issue. Today he claims to want reconciliation in the last ditch hope he might not be ditched. He claims it in front of his remaining clack the 'don't think tank' Sydney Institute.

He admits he hasn't changed at all:

He says while he now sees the need for symbolic measures he will not change his view on saying sorry for past injustices.

"It would, I believe, only reinforce a culture of victimhood," he said.

His final declaration is that he belongs to 'one tribe' with its echoes of Hanson's 'one nation'. Not only does he try to abolish tribal ownership he now wants to be adopted as a leading member of the tribe!

We all know Howard's tribe: non stop diatribe.
