You’re Getting Old, John.

Our nation’s beloved and esteemed Prime Minister exhibited signs of memory loss this morning during an interview with ABC radio in Tasmania.

John Howard made an embarrassing start to his whistle-stop tour of Tasmania when he forgot the name of the Liberal candidate for the seat of Franklin in the state’s southeast.

Mr Howard hesitated on ABC radio this morning when he was asked to name candidate Vanessa Goodwin.

“I support all of my Liberal colleagues,” he replied before he was interrupted and asked again to name Dr Goodwin.

He then admitted: “I don’t know.”

Other things forgotten by John Howard over the years.

- the milk
- wedding anniversary
- human decency
