A couple of diehards carrying a JOHN HOWARD FOREVER banner pushed roughly through the photographers lining the stage, careless of a supposedly left-leaning media complicit in Rudd's triumph. As one tried to protect his camera, a rugby league player in an expensive suit grabbed his shirt, snarling, "It's you f___ people's fault. Are you happy...
