John Howard - Bennelong Time Since I Rock and Rolled

This was a viral video campaign for the 2007 election, aimed at helping unseat John Howard. It won GetUp's viral video award and achieved local, national and international news coverage. It is now in the Canberra National Digital Archives.

I bet Bennelong partied when Howard lost his seat!

[charbonou2]

Whoa Bronco, what is your problem? Actually don't answer that. Just calm down and don't say anything until you can be respectful to those you talk to, no matter how much you may disagree with what they say.. you have no right to talk to ANYONE like that.

Love your work ,just watched iabbott and had to come back for this cracker. My Mum told me don't argue with stupid people Cyrius , because they drag you down to their level of stupid and they are better at being stupid stupid. delete them. Are we going to wake up to a Abbott Govt ???? and drag us back to the fifties and Howard as G.G . It's scary .

That's not what I said, I've already told you this. You're too fucking dumb to comprehend so let's just drop it at that.

As for John Coleman I think a petition involves people putting their own names down but if you're right and he just nabbed all those name's then you'd be right.

Now you've avoided my other questions again but I don't care. You win, I'm no expert. Just don't respond and leave it at that.
