Yes, a bit of a pain that. I do recommend reading this one at least:

Australian foreign policy in 'The Howard Years'
By Tony Kevin
LECTURE AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
1 June 2004 

http://www.defeathoward.com/foreign_tkevin.doc

With such gems as:

"In his panic rush to lodge Australia under the military umbrella of a
wounded and vengeful US Government, John Howard tore up the
international rule book on which Australia's security so much depends.
His actions as Prime Minister have made Australia significantly less
safe, and significantly less free."

That's just on the foreign policy side. I'd hate to read the human
rights section.
