John Howard
John Howard was Australia's 25th prime minister. After a meteoric rise to become treasurer, aged 38, in Malcolm Fraser's government, the self-described economic liberal and social conservative was sidelined. But in 1996, Howard bounced back to lead the Coalition to a resounding victory and become our second longest serving prime minister. He is the author of The Menzies Era, about Australia's longest serving prime minister, Robert Menzies, and of the bestselling autobiography Lazarus Rising.
