McEwen is reported to have despised McMahon personally, and it is very possible that he disliked McMahon because of his rumoured homosexuality, which has been the subject of persistent rumours in Australia.
But more importantly, McEwen was bitterly opposed to McMahon on political grounds, because McMahon was allied with free trade advocates in the conservative parties and favoured sweeping tariff reforms: a position that was vehemently opposed by McEwen, his Country Party colleagues and their rural constituents.
McEwen's implacable opposition forced McMahon to withdraw from the leadership ballot and opened the way for the successful campaign to promote the Education Minister, Senator John Gorton, to the Prime Ministership with the support of a group led by Defence Minister, Malcolm Fraser.

In his old age he was rehabilitated by the Liberals; his 90th birthday party was attended by Prime Minister John Howard, and the publication of a new biography restored his reputation.

I do not understand John McEwen's installation at Mercer Union, 29 Mercer, which is on view until Sept. 20.
McEwen's fabrications stand between two points of artistic attention: the real thing in the room (steel), and the wild thing alluded to (rabbit).
If I've got it straight, this all means that McEwen's very interesting installation -- like his rabbit -- should be read as a sort of artistic Caliban, misbegotten by sculpture on a statuary mother.
