Hi John, It's a very detailed sculpture and a great setting. It definitely conveys a lot of sentiment.
In the first photo he looks a bit like John Howard, I hope it's just the angle.
it looks a LOT like howard, I didnt know they had 60 yr olds wearing glasses in the infrantry back during the WW's!? even the stature is correct
and why dont his clothes fit!???
maybe he's on the lookout for the next load of invading baby eating 'boat people' a la Tampa - whimsically hoping to save his political hide again just an interpretation
It has done the rounds at a number of local shopping malls, and I guess is going further a field to see what mischief can be made. Some have found it funny, others offensive (some people have threatened in the past to vandalize it if it wasn't removed) and most couldn't care less. Gets a run every now and then in local newspapers where ever it appears - bit like a garden gnome - only nobody wants to steal this one - too heavy I suppose.

Ah well, didn't know that, I really didn't take that much notice of who it could be. Looks like someone has thrown a furphy into the local comp.
Personally, I don't give a rat's about politics anyway.
, the actual sculpture is only about 5 ft tall, the detail is incrediable.
those damn bolshie artiste's and their radical commentary 
, well, lonely, but symbolic in an old fashioned kinda way.
