The "Not Happy, John!" campaign led by former federal president John Valder was officially launched in Sydney today with the goal of ousting John Howard from a seat he's held with relative ease for 30 years.
John Valder was once one of the Prime Minister's closest supporters, but claims he's now a liability because of 'children overboard' and the war in Iraq.

John Valder confirmed by fax that he was "totally happy" with the report of his Springwood speech (as printed above).
John Valder's fax continued: "The enormity of what is still going on in Iraq, just these last few days, just magnifies the crime, and of course has now brought terrorist attacks right to our doorstep, with the bombing of the Australian Embassy in Djakarta less than a week ago."

 TIME TO GO JOHN: FILMS
John Valder the former Liberal Party National President and currently the convenor of the 'Not Happy John Campaign' believes Howard should have step down when he had his chance.
When John Howard famously 'lost it' during his speech formally opening the Reconciliation Conference in Melbourne in May 1997, and audiences turned their backs as he spoke, he used the word 'blemish' to describe the significance of Indigenous dispossession and frontier violence in colonial Australia.
John Howard has passed extraordinary, unprecedented and draconian anti-terror laws which allow for the secret detention of any Australian over 16 years old, not suspect in any crime, and without charge or trial.

John Valder, a prominent member of Australia's conservative Liberal Party, called America a war criminal and the liberation of Iraq "the greatest act of aggression by any Western nation since the days of Hitler's Germany", neatly putting Bush, Blair and Howard on par with Adolf Hitler.
Valder sneers at the liberation by stating that "As a result, many Iraqi families are still trying to survive without adequate, if any, supplies of water, food and electric power.
Senator Bayh, unlike Valder, is a man with strong moral moorings, a sound grasp of the danger Hussein posed and a sturdy sense of patriotism.

Valder accused Howard of turning his back on democracy by refusing to surrender to the Stalinist directed 'peace movement'.
According to Valder's logic the Liberal Party Government's war policy should not only be determined by the state of public opinion, badly informed as it usually is in these matters, but that the only true democratic government is one that gets a majority of the popular vote.
Any humanitarian feelings the pompous likes of Valder and the rest of the despicable crew might have had are easily trumped by their anti-Americanism.

And as Louise Yaxley reports opponents of the war, like the former Liberal Party President John Valder, says the worsening situation in Iraq convinces him he was right to campaign against the invasion, and he says there's a case for the leaders of the Coalition to face war crimes charges.
JOHN VALDER: Those who were responsible for this have got to answer for it.
JOHN VALDER: Yes because they were party to what has turned out to be open, active aggression against a third country that in no way was a threat to them and of course their reasons for going in have proved to be absolutely baseless.

Organised by the elusive John Valder AO CBE, a former Liberal Party president at both a state and national level, the campaign has been organised with the intention of ousting John Howard in his own seat of Bennelong.
John Valder argues in the ‘Not Happy, John’ newsletter received by us all last week that Howard has “ruined the once great reputation of the Liberal Party.” According to Valder, Howard is also guilty of “moving the Liberal Party to a more right-wing, less democratic position”.
Valder hopes for the Liberal Party to be returned on October 9, albeit with a “swing back to a much fairer, honest, decent and less divisive party based on truly Liberal principles”.
