‘Hello it’s John Howard calling’: former PM says Liberal party asked him to ‘campaign extensively’

However this election, the 82-year-old has been traipsing across the country, from Perth to campaign launches in Sydney.

His message in Kooyong is more tailored. “You may think that everything Josh or the government has done is perfect, but how could it be?” his letter to voters states. “In these very uncertain times, he and the Liberal team are the best choice to ensure a strong future for our wonderful nation.” In his mail-outs, Howard rallied further against the teal independents, suggesting the candidates were “not being upfront about their real intention, which is to bring down the Liberal government”.

There was no one under 80 available?

Yep the one list his seat and stuffed the country !

How can he be bothered auspol

Out comes old Johnny-lost-his-seat at ejection time, as usual… (with apologies to Hannibal Lector)

Sounds about hasbeenish to me...

It worked so well in SA for Steven Marshall 🙄

We got a letter from John Howard today, urging us to vote Liberal. Yep, the old 'children overboard, out of touch bigot who lost his own seat along with his government.' Yep, that bloke. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Well when your current PM is toxic with voters, you’ve gotta go to a former PM, I suppose. I guess Tony Abbott is still waiting expectantly by the phone…

The rodent is blowing his taxpayer funded retirement flying around the country costing us all. Put him out his misery and never ever forget work choices!!!!!!!

I can smell the despair & desperation coming off the LNP 🌬 Let's hope the stench of defeat is coming off them by this time next week 🤞

Fascist Johnie coming to help Very bloody funny!!

So they brought a war criminal out that lost the 2007 election by a landslide. Will those innocent dead civilians in Iraq rise from the dead now we’ve found those “weapons of mass destruction”? Ohhh wait we never found those

Return of the Living Dead.

Just a reminder that this dinosaur lost an election and lost his own seat. Seriously? He’s an asset? 🤦‍♂️

Not exactly flogging a dead horse. But not far off. Sooner the better hopefully.

Strange choice, It's been 15 years since Howard bowed out, doubt anyone under 33 would know who he is ..., they could have got Turnbull but he hates them and Abbott's been busy telling Liberals to get behind Deves.

Sounds like they want to loose the election……but “here’s Johnny” anyway
