It's truly bizzare how Australian PM's no longer last more than a couple of years, especially given Australia operates under the Westminster system of government which usually provides stabilty as compared with some continental systems of government. The last Australian PM who completed a 'normal' term in office was John Howard who served 1996-2007.Congratulations to new Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. There are no greater friends than the United States and Australia!
