Howard not doing what Glen Milne wants

PRIME Minister John Howard has made a deliberate decision not to consider his retirement despite pressure within the Liberal Party to make a decision over Christmas.

I would think it’s more of despite pressure from Glen Milne.

Glen has a weekly column where he raises the hope that Howard will retire. He is continually quoting back-bench pressure, Costello’s supporters, informed sources and his interpretation of his reading of the tea leaves that says retirement imminent.

I think it’s just wishful thinking on Milnes part.
