9 John Winston Howard
1 Howard, J, Lazarus Rising: a Personal and Political Autobiography, HarperCollins, Sydney, 2010, p. 14.
2 There were four brothers in the Howard household. Wal, Stan and John were all conservatively minded. Bob, while originally joining the Liberal Party, eventually became active in the ALP. Bob was actually a lecturer in economics at the University of Sydney when I was a student there. A visit by John Howard to his brother’s workplace when he was shadow minister for industrial relations, in the early 1990s, was the first time I saw him in person.
3 Einfeld’s subsequent fall from grace does not mean his brilliance as a jurist should not be recognised.
