| | The results indicate Mr Downer, who scored dismal opinion poll ratings toward the end of his eight-month stint as Opposition Leader in 1995, has restored his public image as Foreign Affairs Minister. | | | Since then, he has strengthened his position within the party, most notably through becoming known as the Cabinet minister who is closest to Mr Howard. | | | Treasurer Peter Costello, the present deputy, is the overwhelming favourite to succeed Prime Minister John Howard, should he retire this term. |
