I don't know Costello - what's he like? Would he stick wth the Howard line on the war against Islamic terrorism?

I assume the Treasurer holds a seat - what riding? (As you can see I don't know much about a lot more than the Hon. Mr. Costello.)

Costello is slightly to the left of Howard on social matters but to the right of Howard economically (not by much, is kinda like the difference between Bush and Rice, and Bush and Greenspan), but I'm pretty sure Costello would keep the line on terrorism.

Unlike the US, only members of parliament can hold ministerial positions (such as Treasurer, Defence Minister, Foreign Minister, Prime Minister, etc...)

Only time will tell but I would think that Costello would stick pretty much to the Howard line on most things except on the issue of Australia becoming a republic (Howard is a monarchist, Costello favors the republic). There's little doubt Costello would continue Australia's involvement is the war against the Islamists.

His deputy prime minister would almost certainly be a guy named Tony Abbott which means Australia would be run by Abbott & Costello.
