a thought about some positive action (JOHN ANDREW MENZIES)

Whilst reading Not Happy John, the thought occurred that we need some action similar to Ian McKiernan's 'Clean up Australia', to get rid of Howard and this government. It seems to have raised awareness about environmental issues and been successful in cleaning up the physical environment, so why not try a similar approach in an effort to clean up the political scene? I'm not sure how this could be done but I imagine a good start would be to get some high profile person(s) like Ian McKiernan with the know-how and enthusiasm to lead the fight.

NHJ (AL): Interesting idea, John. Moveon in the US have brought onboard a number of high-profile celebrities to help spread their progressive message. There are an increasing number of well-known individuals getting involved in marginal seats such as Bennelong. If anybody out there would like to bring onboard other well-connected invidivuals, all ideas are welcome, though one of the big message of NHJ is ordinary people joining together to bring change.
