Page "Malcolm Fraser" Paragraph 28

After 1996, Fraser was critical of the Howard Coalition government over foreign policy issues ( particularly Howard's alignment with the foreign policy of the Bush administration, which Fraser saw as damaging Australian relationships in Asia ).

He opposed Howard's policy on asylum-seekers, campaigned in support of an Australian Republic and attacked what he perceived as a lack of integrity in Australian politics, together with former Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam, finding much common ground with his predecessor.
