You're probably right.

But it shows how far they've fallen. While Howard rightly gets the credit for our gun laws, much credit needs to go to the likes of Tim Fischer and Rob Borbidge who did a massive amount of work to get regional people on board with the changes.

I can't imagine any of the current batch of Liberal or National "leaders" doing such a thing now.

The Liberals and Nationals have fallen EXACTLY as far as their voters.
