$500 Million - it’s peanuts really. Half a billion barely buys you a good newspaper these days.
Nobody does a better job shoveling cash into the pockets of Australia's media moguls than John Howard.
In just 16 months, the Howard government has spent $500 million on anti-Labor, anti-union fear campaigns, pro-WorkChoices propaganda and so-called “government funded information advertising”.
This is not Liberal Party money - its Australian taxpayers money...
This responsible, restrained, competent and hugely popular government has spent more than $1 million a day on ads, for almost 500 days running and now spends more taxpayer dollars on advertising, per head of population, than any other country in the world!
Doesn't that make even the most "rusted-on" conservative wonder?
Now we have a bit of an inkling why Howard is so popular with Rupert’s The Australian.
Un-friggin-believable.
