Isn't it ironic? Prime Minister John Howard of Australia had expected his treasurer Peter Costello to take over his position as the new Prime Minister should he had won the election and stepped down later when he retired.
Apparently, it is not going to happen anymore.

Sometimes this is good. You can't just go and change the labour laws too much. Besides, interest rates are now so high, and families can no longer come together under normal hours. These are just too much to take.
This is indeed democracy. The Australian people have spoken. They are not blind. Nobody can take them for granted. That is one for you, Australians!

Well being Chancellor/Treasurer is the number 2 spot in government so I wouldn't say it was ironic, more usual if there is to be a secession.

The Aussies had the good sense to kick out their man who supported the war on Iraq. Shame us here in the UK weren't as sensible.
