Welcome. I guess I'd have to vote for anyone against Mr. Howard. I couldn't give a damn about Australia (I'm sure it's nice ), but Howard is a Tony Blair, Silvio Berlusconi, etc.

If Howard drops, Blair will, and Italy eats their PM, it makes Mr. Bush's "coalition of the willing" look like a bad game of risk.
Thankfully a lot of the Australian public don't look at it that way. Australia is an aging population which has seen what previous labor governments have done to Australia and considering they are the bulk of the population Howard should win, and also the fact that he is a monarchist, which a lot of the older population is.. Howards stance on the Iraq has won him votes here if anything, at first out of all the coalition of the willing, Australia supported the war the most. Howard currently holds an election winning lead in the polls(which i know dont mean much). Howard will win the next election in a landslide.
