Tim Dunlop: “Howard, in fact, is a control freak who wants as much as possible under his own control …”

Margo Kingston: “He’s a control freak – everyone knows that.”

Natasha Cica: “Howard is not the Great Satan. Nor is he Stalin or Hitler. But as a politician, he is a top-down, authoritarian control freak who is profoundly threatened by difference.”

Mungo MacCallum: “Among his other dislikeable qualities, John Howard is a control freak.”

Geoff Kitney: “John Howard is reputed to be the most obsessive control freak political leader of modern times.”

Question: why would a control freak seek to sell a communications network currently under 51% government control? Why would a control freakattempt to yield complete control of that network since taking office? And why are leftists—who, given their desire for state-controlled utilities—calling someone who wants to cede control of Telstra a control freak? Why would a control freak offer Telstra to the uncontrollable realm of market forces?
