It was deemed inappropriate but happened after he was pm and was an mp. His government was riddled with scandals, very true. It’s part of his complicated legacy, he implemented a hated tax and had the courage to do it. He tried hard on the constitution, got close and nobody has tried again. Free trade. Apartheid.

But yes, screwed the west in the f18 affair, didn’t do the military any favours either and decimated his party opening the door for reform.

I can’t just thrown him in the crook plain and simple pile though. The world is full of gray.
