Costello's Poison Pill?

Triggered by this comment at LP, I'm starting to wonder if Costello has reached a mental place where he is determined to make sure John Howard doesn't get another term. One way or another.

It seems a stretch, but our Parliament has a habit of inspiring meltdowns.

Meanwhile, as I suggested in my previous post, Howard is attempting the 'we can disagree and keep going' approach. It's an olive branch that the Treasurer may be tempted to grab.

At the cusp of war, an uneasy truce is offered...
