He has cowed his critics, muffled the press, intimidated the ABC, gagged scientists, silenced NGOs, censored the arts, prosecuted leakers, criminalised protest and curtailed parliamentary scrutiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough touted as a contest of values, this has been a party-political assault on Australia's liberal culture. In the name of \"balance\", the Liberal Party has muscled its way into the intellectual life of the country.\u003cbr\u003eAnd this has happened because we let it happen. Once again, Howard has shown his superb grasp of Australia as it really is.
