Howard is an irrelevance. His Menzies version of Australia is dead.
He is too old ...he doesnt understand economics of past liberal dictatorship
WTF. Is this guy going to live forever
Has Johnny Howard got dementia trying to blame Labor for Morrisons Debt&Deficit or is he just a bloody liar like all the LNP Miscreants?
The ‘Height of Hypocrisy’ should be chiseled on Howard’s gravestone.
So the man who told his country the gravest lie a PM could tell, accused Labor of dishonesty? Well hang your hat in that 😠
Bring out your dead.
What a hippocrite talking about hypocrisy
Poppycock.
Murdoch propaganda machine at work divide and rule antisocial jerk
He will be as useful as we was during the campaign.
Ya gotta hand it to SKY. They don’t give up easily 😂
John Howard recently reminds me of what happened to Rudy Giuliani. The not-so-steady decline…the loss of respect for one’s self and legacy (or what remains of it). Sad to see, actually.
Isn't this one of the reason President Trump coined the phrase of swamp. In this post PM has reduced himself to partisan as opposed to retain role of ex PM. He seems to show he has been lucky to be PM for such a long period.
John Howard should enjoy his retirement and stay out of politics. It was him who deceived the Australian public that there would never neve r be a GST and when he got voted we got a GST
Time Howard was assessed.
What a combination a hasbeen liberal and a wannabe news outlet, I am sure every Labor voter will be having a good laugh
This is heightened John Howard bullsh^t. The media is in a frenzy over Morrison’s secretive actions - they’re deliberately not asking about much else. All part of the LNP/Murdoch witch hunt, rear vision mirror, nothing to see here, look over there propaganda.
Lack of honesty....lets see...never ever a GST..
FFS - another non-news day from mud-doch & co…
Josh created the debt John. Sit down old man, you were a serial liar
your relevance is?
Hmmmm was the dept racked up by the LiberalAus The_Nationals as part of ScottMorrisonMP secret ploy to o we throw the democracy in Australia? The liberals and nats have been the worst and most corrupt government in Australian history. They make old sir joh looks tiny!
The universe has a new epicentre of hypocrisy
Hypocrisy
Labor didn’t create the debt. Howard’s mates did.
Remind us again how long Labor have been in government? They inherited the shit show created by the Libs
The huge debt they just inherited?
Is he selling any books though?
The Albanese government hasn’t racked up 5 cents worth of government debt yet. It’s all LNP debt - waste and rorts.
Howard and honesty should NEVER appear in same article let alone same sentence.
I note that there’s nothing about the interviewer challenging him on either the claim about the debt or the move on quip about secret ministries gate.
Hypocrisy huh? Get back to your crypt.
“Australians have hit out at Sky News for failing to report on the trillion dollars worth of debt the coalition delivered us”. - there I fixed it.
You know Labor have hit a nerve when the Fossil gets rolled out
Why do you keep dragging JH out of the closet he's lost the plot & I for one have absolutely no interest in his out-of-date opinion
John who?
Little Johnny must be getting tired from being rolled out of the LNP crypt. The trillion dollar debt due to a decade of the LNPCrimeFamily running Australia into the the third circle of hell. We see you. You can’t brainwash Aussies LNPCorruptionParty LNPNeverAgain
Hey this is the guy who gave our LNG away for 30 years
150billion Or 1trillion Which number is larger?
The old fool has lost the plot and sky should be charged with elder abuse
Sky News Australia. John Howard I Do Not Think You should comment about Honesty. How can you even sleep at night sir ? Im sure your mates were looked after and still would be no doubt. Hell Awaits...
Who made the debt with massive unchecked corporate handouts - they haven’t even released a budget yet - why is Johnny doing Dutton’s job atm ? Lol
sorry john.. the ship of fools now has a hand on the tiller. Back to the infirmary for you.
Little Johnny has always struggled with relevance…..and honesty.
No-one dog-whistles like the great master Howard! Just watch him get to work explaining how the $Trillion+ debt racked up by the corrupt LNP wasn't because they gave it all to their rich mates but because the poor are too greedy/irresponsible/stupid (take your pick)!
release the Keating
Seems many ALP supporters are shit scared having Howard on the news. Most tweet reply’s are similar 😂😂😂
Spot on! Wish he would return to politics
🙄 totally irrelevant.
Australian don’t buy John Howard’s criticism anymore! The more he criticises Labor Party more he sinks Liberal party! The damage he had done to Australia’s property market by printing free money to home owners and developers is unaffordable and hard to digest!
Says Howard & the dishonest Murdoch trash that ignored the Coalition's $1 trillion debt InTheBin
The little Stunt Kunt with legs opened his mouth again...
Is the old galah trying to make a comeback? Are the Liberals that bereft of any leaders?
BREAKING: Latest pic of people lining up to hear what John Howard thinks.
The debt racked up by his party?
Labor spend spend spend. You will see . Infllike you never seen before
Why are you giving so much air time to a former Prime Minister?
The king of hypocrisy.
There is a seat in Hell waiting for him.
If only that was completely true.
Can you ask old mate about the lazy 500mil the 'government' added *before* a pandemic response was required. Is that core debt or non-core debt?
So easy to prove him wrong. Liberals ran up most of it.
Put this old codger back in his mothballs please!
Who’d believe one of Australia’s worst Treasurers & PMs. Why are we seeing so much of this has been these days?
You’ve got to be kidding!
That is an insane take.
From the biggest spending pm in aid history. auspol
Lil Johnny is as relevant as a walkman, bent as a corkscrew and as helpful as a deflated rubber ring
Old man shouts at clouds
The huge amount of debt that the LNP ran up and left Labor holding the bag...
Doesn’t surprise me. This man is such a liar, he couldn’t lie straight in bed. Who is responsible for the government debt? He, and the LNP, that’s who.
🤣 ok Howard, you backed Josh and lost one of the safest seats in the process
The Rodent was always a distant friend to the truth. Started back in the Khemlani fake scandal that he was a party to, with Rubbery Phil, aided & abetted by MI6, CIA, ASIO & Garfield Barwick, via an alcoholic & vane GG.
Ah yes. Blame labor for the debt the LNP built up over the last 9 years. Typical Howard and typical Sky news
Good on you Sky every time you drag the fossil out it keeps on reminding Australians what a p/weak the LNP team are. Especially it's leader for now palladin Pete.
um... who was putting on massive amounts of debt for the last (checks notes) NINE YEARS?
Laughable coming from him. His nickname was 'honest' John because he's a compulsive liar.
Or this useless weasel.
You mean this lying weasel.
judolburn Look how debt exploded under Howard.
The debt before Covid was the LNP. Quie a bit of the JobKeeper debt is because Morrison didn’t include a payback clause - not being in the politics of envy, of course - and massive overpayments in Corporate Welfare. Why must we keep wheeling out this fossil?
Taking the p!ss surely.
When does this war criminal have to attend The Hague?
Who cares what this war criminal has to say. Lock him up
Get back under the rock 🪨 you crawled out of you old maggot !!!
Howard is a lying little turd much like most of your presenters
This is for Johnny Howthefuckdidhegetelected
‘Lack of Honesty’ being spoken about from The Runt…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Next thing he’ll be saying he’s never had an affair during his marriage to Janette.
What did Little Johnny's other eyebrow say?
The debt the LNP built. They added $800 billion in 9 years and the old hypocrite knows it
Debt created almostb entirely by the last Liberal govt. He and Sky are shameless.
Not only is he a liar, he is senile.
Go back to sleep John no one is listening to you
Who was in power creating this debt?
Ship off mate
Does anyone actually care what he thinks, after he squandered his remaining political capital defending the likes of Deves at the last election?
This is.... interesting. Coalition doubled the debt before the pandemic even began. Howard and others made hardly mention of the debt burden pre election but now Labor is in power....
Howard was a horrid little man as a Prime minister and he is still a horrible little man; and I am not talking about his height. I very much doubt that anyone cares what he has to say.
Who cares what The Runt says, maybe U lot should bring back Miranda Devine or ask Pru Goward to interview him, see how that goes 😂😂😂😂😂
2 1/2 months in the job and Howard wants them to own 9 years of Liberal prolificacy? Were they shagging Josh Frydenburg when he should have be doing the budget (it would explain a $60bill admin mistake) or was it secret nooky with Joe 'Cigar' Hockey? Howard = dishonest creep.
Praps Howard is losing his marbles ?
The nonsense channel with lord high and mighty pontificating old bastard.
Now who is being hypocritical John Howard. It was Labor's debt when Abbott took over not some bipartisan debt from the Financial Crisis 2008.
Looks like he just crapped his dacks.
The rot started with Howard. The little rodent sold our resources for cheese. 30 years later and we have bugger all to show for it.
Is he referring to the debt made by the LNP. What a wanker.
FFS who ran up the $1 trillion debt? It wasn’t Albo.
That the Libs helped to cause. Fark this war criminal.
Again with the comedy! Maybe he's been napping for the past 10 years?
Do you mean the $1Tn they inherited? They were not the last govt Mr Howard! They inherited the debt.
Ffttt - bugger off you old war criminal, lying creep.
John Howard is allways right
Go to bed John
FFS can this cretin just crawl back under his rock? nobody cares what Howard has to say and he's being laughed at!
Why is ralia giving air to this old fool? Howard's policies are the root cause of much of the last LNPCorruptionParty 'govt' disgraces.
He's an embarassment to himself let alone his party. Someone should keep him off camera but if Sky wants to make him look demented for their own purposes, cool and normal I guess.
This guy clearly didn’t catch up with the modern society, did he? auspol
Johnny is a American president’s arse licker…..
He truely is an unreliable narrator. Perhaps it’s time to cross him off your interviewee list.
Who?
Who’s fault is that debt
John is a silly old turnip . It was his lot that left Australians in record debt
Always a sign of desperation when Howard gets wheeled out. Can’t see you making this one stick.
Coming from the man who sold our national gold reserve when the gold price was low and then pissed the money away. Why is this fossil not behind glass in a museum somewhere.
Honestly who cares what that old fart of a dinosaur thinks, he lost his seat, none of those he helped in the last election won send him of to the old folks home and let him be.
RBJRON I thought the majority see him as a war criminal because of his role in the Iraq war? And then there is the little matter of the bugging of East Timor.
Who do you think created that debt? Starts with L.. ends with.. Iberal.
He’s now just another Talking Head for Sky babbling rubbish
FFS, give it a bone. Liberal debt. What's with the constant Howard promotion? Always when the conservatives are in trouble they bring back their last,and only, man of any sort of 'substance' to remind his aging fans of a once great party, before it was a christo-fascist shit show
One the worst PM’s the country has ever seen now a media whore with nothing of any worth to say. Typical of SKY news to quote him,getting the dribbling geriatrics that watch all excited as they marinate in their depends.
Weapons of Mass Destruction eh Little Johnny, how did that one finish?
Howard the old war criminal
'Lack of honesty', says the TV channel spruiking LNP bullshit constantly.
Howard the silly little bastard thinks he is still relevant, no mate, you are a has been who should never have been anything other than a nobody. Surely there must be some talent in the liberal ranks, why trot out this fossil?
The hide of this guy
Little Johnny and your mates at Sky News, I think you know what you can do?! FRO
Fossil.
huh how long have labor they been in Power ? this is becoming stupid....and who cares what that Howard says horrible man ...
Well John, you should know all about this huge debt. After all it was your boy who initiated it. It was your boy who let millions slip through to large businesses without any oversight. None audited or asked to return unused funds ,not pocket them.
You know when Sky and the LNP are desperate when they keep wheeling out John 'WMD' Howard. I bet when he's dead and burning in hell, they'll dig up his rotting corpse for comment. As for being a hypocrite, remember the Tampa and children overboard. FFS. auspol
Would that be the debt his party tripled over the last 9 years?
Why is he even talking now. He said nothing the whole time LNP was increasing the debt. Time to go back to retirement. How much has Murdoch paid for him to come out of his retirement? Howard, Not doing it for love of country when he can sacrifice it’s sons on a lie, WMD
hypocrisy is howards middle name. labors debt was because of the gfc to keep us out of recession..lnp prosecuted labor for 10 yrs over that smaller debt. and the first 2 yrs of the lnp post rudd was all about labor debt and royal commisions on gillard and shorten.
War criminal says what?
Howard and go to bed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who CARES what Howard thinks. It was HIS Liberal Party thieves that left AUSTRALIA with a $3Trillion Dollar debt
The ultimate paedophile protector and probably one as well
Ahhh here’s the truth Murdoch liars… auspol
Yawn …
Why don’t all these old over paid politicians just go away
Oh perleeese! Put that nasty little wrecker back in his crypt.
The walls of Justice are closing in on the last lot of Liberal conservatives grubs and Johnny the little runt
The amount of DEBT - GIVEN THAT THE COALITION HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR THE LAST DECADE !! Unbelieveable - blaming the ALP for failed Coalition policies which we have known since Reagan dont work !! That is some ballsy stuff you have there !!
He’s just a war criminal
Why the fuck is he everywhere at the moment? Mr ‘I’ve never been shot by a charismotron’ Howard.
AlboMP JEChalmers Labor blew the best National Surplus under Howard on useless schemes to support unions. Labor spend but look at the Interest we need to pay on their debt
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you seriously reporting this bullshit, or is this a comedy routine?
Everything, every stupid insolent projection coming out of the Liberals is self-serving and self-pardoning nonsense.
Oh nick off, ya vandal.
He brought in GST.....
I’d forgotten Labor agreed to all the debt the Government went into during COVID.
You mean the 'children overboard' tosser or the 'war criminal' tosser? That's right. It's the same tosser.
What is this silly little weasel on about? Has he forgotten to take his medication again?
And John Howard is honest?
Why all of a sudden is this wanker being vocal … can’t be because he remains a “Liberal plus” … compared to he surviving LNP oafs a 3 day old turd adds more value
Another hilarious quote from the corpse of LNP. $1T inherited debt.
The man who LIED about children overboard, who LIED about WMDs having the gall, the temerity, the cheek to hit out at the ALP about dishonesty. He’s a fossil responsible for much of our current predicament & deserves to be confined to history not to be seen again & again
Was this one of his core or non-core opinions?
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
The LNP have started trying to deflect from Scomogate. They really must have lots to hide.
Grubby old beast.
doggiedo9 Keep Howard talking. He’s a great reminder why Liberals need to stay in opposition.
Something is hypocritical but it’s not what he says it is. We all heard him complain about the debt he inherited
He knows who created the debt, yes?
I don't blame the previous Govt for going into reasonable debt in uncertain times. However, I don't think wasting money and lack of transparency should get a free kick either. People have a right to know if the amount of debt could have been avoidable with better governance.
you are kidding right LNP created a trillion in debt you cant be serious
We hate you and all your presenters. Karma will be a bitch come the Royal Commission.
Methinks he needs to increase his medication if he's so confused to be blam8ng Labor for the massive LNP debt, most of which went into their mates' pockets. Maybe they forgot to give the old codger a share.
Who's debt? FFS
Hahaha lnp in gov 9 years alp 3 months Howard is talking BS
The debt that was inherited as Albo keeps pointing out ! Was partly due to 2 lots of floods financial aid and clean up and the same for bushfire recovery ! What’s Albos excuse for adding to the debt, he was going to whittle down 🤔 but instead has increased it by billions 🤷♀️
Really Johnny.... I have my bags packed still standing at central station in Sydney waiting for this to arrive.. 🤣🤣
I will not be lectured about 'honesty' by little jonny howard! Using the word Honesty in the same sentence as little jonny howard is an oxymoron. 😡
Was Howard outraged by the soaring debt under ScottMorrisonMP Two thirds of the debt in the budget was borrowed by the Government before the Covid outbreak but he won't admit that!!
Pot, meet kettle The 'height of hypocrisy' is Howard
Hahahaha!!! The Lying Rodent is Lying again The LNP created the 'large amount' of debt! He must take us all for fools
And where did that did come from, Johnny? If you hadn't created a culture of selling off our public assets, it might not be so dire.
Height of hypocrisy indeed. Have some f**king shame.
🤣🤣🤣Little Johnny. 🤣🤣🤣
Me thinks Johnny be drunk
Surprise, surprise. Howard wants to move the discussion away from the morrison deception and unethical decisions of the LNP.
That FaQ’g evil monster come war criminal should be dancing at the end of a rope. He can keeps his brain farts to himself.
BellzWebster 9 years clown school
War criminal says what now?
Is this a parody account ?
Is Howard job sharing with Dutton ?
He is the grannyof all Magoos Misjudged IRAQ WMD Result: hundred thousands death Created structural deficits : Aus can't shake debts off Endorsed Scumo: Worst PM all round shrouded in secrecy Bigotry;Thinks P Hanson is ok, Asians migrants are against social cohesion
So the LNPs debt🤷🏼♂️
Coming from the guy that lead us to a war based on lies about intelligence of WMDs that didn't exist, riiiight
Honest John? Right. It’s over for his lot. We moved on. Pay attention now.
The ol’ dead cat strategy… NoMoScoMoChitChat
Oh please 🙄🙄🙄
Where's Airbus Albo?
Be he height of hypocrisy for the most profligate eyebrow to ever grace us talk about spending
ffs just go and retire somewhere Howard
John Howard still purporting to speak for the Australian public Is anyone still listening?
ZERO CREDIBILITY. BOTH of you.
Says the man who bought xenophobia to our nation and divided our Muslim and Chinese community. Also bought Australia into an unjust war based on lies. We should have no time for that racist pig.
Thought that was a picture of Scrooge there for a moment. Turns out I was right the first time
Yeah RIGHT!
Where has Howard been for the last 9 years? Howard probably thinks people were being sincere when they called him 'Honest' John....
Howard wheeled out by Sky or the LNP 'weekend at Bernies' style whenever they need backup is hardly the flex they think it is, bloke is yesterdays news.
Is John Howard the Opposition leader now or has he got a permanent job at Sky 'News' ?
Was he outraged by the soaring debt under ScottMorrisonMP 🤔
What Joe said ! Get back inya SARCOPHAGUS you Old Fukka
Slams Labor 🤔. Hang on its been LNP in government for the last 9 years. Check with ScoMo although its probably a secret. 😬🤦
They aren't all to well upstairs are they
Funny
wow howard has lost his marbles if he thinks this debt is labors debt...
John Howard is a war criminal.
Seriously? Wow!
