| In Paul's Own Words |
| On John Howard: "What we have got is a dead carcass, swinging in the breeze, but nobody will cut it down to replace him." "He's wound up like a thousand day clock." "...the brain-damaged leader of the Opposition." "He is the greatest job and investmnent destroyer since the bubonic plague." "But I will never get to the stage of wanting to lead the nation standing in front of the mirror each morning clipping the eyebrows here and clipping the eyebrows there with Janette and the kids. It's like 'Spot the Eyebrows'." "I am not like the leader of the Opposition. I did not slither out of the Cabinet room like a mangy maggot..." "I do not want to hear any mealymouthed talk from the Member for Benelong." On Wilson "Iron Bar" Tuckey (Liberal politician): "...You stupid foul-mouthed grub." "Shut up! Sit down and shut up, you pig!" "You boxhead you wouldn't know. You are flat out counting past ten." On former Leader of the Opposition, John Hewson: "(His performance) is like being flogged with a wet lettuce." "Iwas implying that the Honourable Member for Wentworth was like a lizard on a rock - alive, but looking dead." "I'd put him in the same class as the rest of them" mediocrity." "This is the sort of little-boy, stamp your foot stuff which comes from a financial yuppie when you shoo him into parliament." |
