John Howard was elected to the House of Representatives for Bennelong in 1974 and what followed has read like a political fairytale. He became Australia’s 25th Prime Minister after leading the Coalition to a resounding victory in 1996 and became our second longest serving PM. The former Prime Minister led the nation through some truly testing times - the economic recession of the 1980s, the Port Arthur massacre but also through major historical moments like 9/11 and the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
