    Lets get down to nuts and bolts and say no matter who gets in as the government mistakes have happened since the first parliament was opened in Australia and continues to be made by who ever gets in. So no party is really immune from it.

    Fraser knew that if he did the right things at the right time then the outcome would almost be guaranteed and it was, so if that is not a plan I do not know what is. The backroom boys would have been running around day and night to find out what needed to be done and the info was then passed on to Fraser to execute the plan in parliament and execute is the right word to use as it executed the elected government of the time.

    But do not point the finger at anyone party though both sides have made mistakes some really bad and some not so bad. Today though I doubt there is any parliamentarian in Australia that is as good as in the older times the answer to that is no.
