Insiders (ABC TV) today showed some recent footage of the Prime Minister on talkback radio trying to wash his hands of any responsibility for the current level of petrol prices. In response to an increasingly irate caller the PM replied addressing him as "mate".
This is the first time I recall hearing Mr Howard use the word when he's on the defensive. Is he just following the trend of using it as a generic greeting or is he trying to convince those who returned him to office that he's not lost touch with their hearts and minds, even if he can't do anything about their pockets?
