Julius Caesar Act 3, Scene 1

Peter Costello’s derogatory comments about Howard in John Winston Howard: The Biography by Peter van Onselen and Wayne Errington, released this week, have sealed his fate and played right into the hands of our dastardly villain.

What sweeter revenge for Howard than to throw his hands in the air in mock "Et tu, Brute?" defeat and pass the reigns over to Costello just months before the election. With the polls looking putrid for the Libs, Costello is sure to fall in a heap. End of career.

Howard will have the last laugh. He always does.
