The Wire

It’s not looking good for John Howard, with the Coalition continuing to trail in the polls. Howard needs to hold onto 16 marginal seats to remain in office, including his own seat of Bennelong. And it’s not just the polls that are against him. Even the bookies are saying the odds are long on the prospect of a Coalition win, with a one dollar bet paying an average of $4.30 against Kevin Rudd’s mere $1.20. Some voters have taken it upon themselves to personally campaign against Howard. The Wire follows one mans individual protest against Howard, who is the second longest serving conservative PM in Australian history. This story comes with an offensive language warning.
