He might not be Australia’s leader anymore, but former Prime Minister John Howard is still in the firing line. A protester expressed his disgust with the ex-leader by throwing his shoes at him during an appearance on the Australian Q&A television program.
The protester was disgruntled with Australia’s role in the Iraq War, and expressed his displeasure in the same way the Iraqi journalist did with George Bush a couple of years ago.
His approach may not be novel, but it certainly got attention. Now if only he was a better aim Howard might not have been so amused!
