Alexander Downer - Foreign Affairs Minister (15/7/2007) (2007x22)

Air date: Jul 15, 2007

This has been a bad week for Prime Minister John Howard - not because he forgot the name of one of his candidates and not because yet again, the polls refused to budge. It was a bad week because Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd got considerable traction on two cost of living issues - groceries and housing affordability.
