It is difficult to imagine that John Howard expects to be taken seriously about his latest promises (here) to be more open to the process of reconciliation. Would that it were true! Even if it is, the electorate will have difficulty reconciling this (pun intended) with the image of the ever more furious Howard thumping the lectern at the Melbourne Reconciliation convention as senior aboriginal leaders turned their backs on him in defiance.
Would, indeed, that it were true that there has been a change of heart. But it looks rather like the latest in opportunistic backflips.
