Howard Pulls Reins in Senate


Credit where it is due, the Democrats have come out slamming the government for its contempt of the Senate by allocating merely 55 days of sitting time for next year.

It is a clear signal of how the new Howard regime is planning to run Australia for the next three to six years, with very little influence from the Senate.
