A friendship too close, a job too far

Article Abstract:

Sen. Warwick Parer, a good decent man who got caught up in a scandal, is being urged to resign for the good of the party. Parer is a close friend of John Howard, and should resign for that reason, critics say. Parer's resignation might help Howard in the polls as well the Liberal party. Critics contend Parer could resign in March and be back in the ministry by the end of July 1998.
