Nervous Liberals call on John Howard, veteran of ticklish times

John Howard knows a tight political spot when he sees one. He’s lived through plenty.

Former prime minister Tony Abbott is tied up in Sydney defending Warringah candidate Katherine Deves as “a tough, brave person who’s standing up for the rights of women and girls, for fairness in sport”.about transgender children, is standing for the seat Abbott lost three years ago. He then moved on to wealthy Higgins, where Liberal member Katie Allen is in the sights of both Labor and the Greens. Howard stumped around a pre-poll courtyard, happily posing for selfies with voters and merrily shaking the hands of volunteers, including those of the Greens and Labor.And finally, he appeared at the even-wealthier Kooyong to stand alongside Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, to whom the battalions of teal independent candidate Monique Ryan have brought great strife.

“Oh,” the former PM said airily, “I just think that the longer you’re in office, the harder it is to win.”

That will certainly sink their chances

Little John is past his prime, unfortunately.

Gross

Oh cool. Tell him I got his letter if he isn’t senile yet!

No fool like an old fool.

Bring me a bucket. FireTheLiar

Aaahhhh the evil man who practices Mendacity

🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮is this how keeps govt accountable to a FederalICAC Or are we over that momentary lapse into ethical and journalistic integrity

Gladys Liu has done NOTHING during her 3 years representing Chisholm. She is NOT across their policies, walks away from valid questions and seems happy with a '350 page' ICAC bill NEVER presented despite this being a core 2019 promise. I've voted for Carina Garland and integrity.

The Chinese community regardless of their politics thinks John Howard’s a racist. Why on earth would you wheel him out in Chisholm which has a large Chinese community?!

Please dont ever call them 'battlers'. That's just insulting

You know they’re in trouble when they wheel out Little Johnny Eyebrows!

Good ol Johnny. Remember work choices? Good times.

The year is 2046. Liberals have not been in power since 2022. The earth is burning but the Nationals still want coal mines. Wheel out Zombie Howard!

Kiss of death.

Weekend at Bernies?

Nothing says 'final nail in the coffin' like John Howard.

Doing it tough? Jesus wept..

Is he support’s the CCP now

Fo youmean “help out them” or help them out. I’m confused

Does he fully understand what this party stands for these days?

Kiss of death 😂

The Angel of death.

They will be resurrecting Harold Holt next.

He acted like an Uncle whose an embarrassment to the family.

The guy who fucked up the marriage act so that Janette would allow him his affairs with cabinet members? Good luck to them all …..not

Scraping the bottom of the septic tank with little Johnny flying in.

Seems to think he is still relevant. Poor misguided man.

Methinks the was taking the piss finally - Joshie a battler. They couldn’t parachute Scomo in as he’s toxic

War criminal says what 🤮

Is that the best you can do ? ThisIsNotJournalism

Do you remember way back when we voted him out of his local electorate and out of Govt? And remember why? His policies not right for Australia and past his expiry date. Ray Martin - What’s your opinion on this Govt by LNP?

Australia has shifted since the John Howard years, why is he constantly being pulled in, doing so only illustrates, the LNP want to keep going backwards n don’t trust their own. The rear vision is cracked !!!

Little Ozzie battlers ...

If only he understood the contempt workers hold him in,after he attacked workers,he only shames his party at each appearance.

And how is that helping them?

Ah yes the Old Howard kiss of death, worked so incredibly well in South Australia, I bet Gladys Liu, Katie Allen, and Josh Frydenberg are almost prostrate at Johnny's feet thanking their lucky stars he came to help

Pathetic

See the similarities?

‘Hello it’s John Howard calling’: former PM says Liberal party asked him to ‘campaign extensively’The current prime minister is unpopular in city marginal seats, so the Coalition is banking on robocalls and letterbox drops from Howard to sway voters 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 Not exactly flogging a dead horse. But not far off. Sooner the better hopefully.
