First of all I saw absolutely no evidence that Kerry's sister campaigned against Howard in Australia. Kjs already posted the allegations before, she failed to provide a link and so did you. If you heard it from Rush or Ann or Sean it does not mean it's true. So unless you can back it up with a credible link - stop lying.

Second - Australia contributed 850 troops in non-combat roles. For a country like Australia it's a ridiculously small, token participation in the coalition. They barely had any casualties, it costs them pennies. It's not a campaign issue for them.

If they had 10,000 troops in Iraq patroling Falujah, losing 10 soldiers and spending a couple of billion dollars a month - the outcome of their election could have been quite different.
