10 news and some other press said that there was speculation that he MAY retire in December, This story has been bought up alot in recent years and the Honorable  Prime minister has not retired, even tho some media said that he would. \nThe department of the Prime minister and cabinet in Canberra say that HON John Winston Howard MP has no intention of leaving the nations top job.

Probably, nothing like retiring on a high note.

Officially he's a retiree. I've seen him recently giving a speech to a business meeting, that's primarily what he's doing jobwise these days. \nHe is known for his long list of charitable engagements, including being a member of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, and of the Board of Directors of the United Negro College Fund. He also serves on the Board of Governors of The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Children's Health Fund.

Never mind the liberals will hand over power as soon as they have sold everything the Australian people owned obtaining the money for their kitty is their idea of keeping inflation down. When there is nothing left little John will go and his smirking treasurer will soon follow maybe then we can get back to being a peaceful country.

Yes.\n\nI'm going to retire in the Philippines to live the rest of my life with my husband.  We've begun putting it all together.  We're looking forward to achieving this.\n\nFor the time being, I spend June & July and a couple weeks of December there every year.  It's part of the romance.  It's our reward for our diligence the rest of the year.

There has been a few rumours (mainly driven by the web) about this, but no official announcements.\n\nIt is clear that he is currently going through a very hard time, having split with his wife (again) and his friend Proof being shot and killed recently, and if reports are to be believed he has pretty much locked himself away and is very depressed.\n\nHowever, in many ways that is to be expected given recent events, and as there has been no official announcement of a retirement I would expect him to be "back in business" when he is good and ready to do so.

The state of MN is taking your money, along with the fed, and you are paying for senior healthcare and their retirement currently.  Happy yet? ;)

I like it. O'Malley is young, energetic, tough and pragmatic. I expect him to be a great governor of Maryland.\n\ncc

Like him or hate him, John Howard is likely to remain as Prime Minister as long as the people want him.\n\nHis track record is good economically and in the field of forign affairs, and most Autralians seem to support him.\n\nWhile some issues are dogging him at the moment, that is usually true of all leaders in all countries.\n\nMost importantly, there is no legitimate challenge from Labour in policy at the moment, partly because of in house branch stacking issues, partly because Beasly cant lead his own party and therefore is seen as inelligible to lead the country, and lastly because how do you create new and improved policy when the policy we already have seems just fine to the majority of people.  \n\nMost Aussies like the lower interest rates and tax cuts and think to themselves....if it aint broken..why fix it?\n\nCostello will wait anouter 3 years not because Howard wants it...but because Australians want Howard.

It depends on how long voters memories are.  Also, much and all as we may not like John Howard, luckily for him, the other parties have no one to measure up to him. Under Howard  Australian govt is looking good to the rest of the world, but the majority of Australians are hurting.
