Howard Speech A Fake

Atrios linked earlier to a purported speech by John Howard.  Turns out its a fake. The actual URL for the PM of Australia is www.pm.gov.au  If you go to the official website of the PM, the speech is not there.  The website of the speech linked to is http://www.johnhowardpm.org/speech1817.html When one examines the structure of the site, It appears that each public pronouncement is numbered consecutively.  The numbers are split between the speeches and interviews.  Thus the last 4 speeches are numbered 1811, 1815, 1816, 1818 as the last part of the URL  See the speeches section at: http://www.pm.gov.au/news/speeches/index.cfm.  The last four interviews are numbered 1809, 1810, 1814, 1817. See the inteviews section at: http://www.pm.gov.au/news/interviews/index.cfm  The url of the speech cited is not the official site of the PM and the number is not a speech number but one assigned to an interview with Neil Mitchell of Radio 3AW.The media releases are similary numbered.  The last four media releases are 1801, 1803, 1804, 1813. Thus the URL for the speech is not correct under any analysis.

I think that putting all of these facts together, one must come to the conclusion that the speech is an elaborate hoax.
