Shoes thrown at Howard during Q,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Former prime minister John Howard had two shoes hurled at him by an Iraq war protester and faced questions from former Guantanamo detainee David Hicks during an appearance on the ABC's Q
In echoes of the infamous incident in which former US president George Bush had two shoes thrown at him during a trip to Iraq in 2008, Mr Howard came under attack as he defended Australia's involvement in the war.
After explaining that he supported the US-led invasion based on the intelligence available at the time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Howard was approached by the protester who removed his shoes and threw them in his direction.
As they failed to hit their target,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the man shouted words to the effect: "That is for Iraqi dead."
A female audience member then shouted: "You've got blood on your hands",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before walking out of the studio.
The man was led away by ABC staff,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Mr Howard appeared unfazed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's all right,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't worry. Forget it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], forget it. Relax," he said, turning to show host Tony Jones.
An audience member then told Mr Howard "if that's all they've got to throw at you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you've got nothing to worry about".
Hicks 'not a hero'
In a pre-taped video aired during the show, Australian-born former Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks asked him why his government had allowed him to be detained for five-and-a-half years.
"In relation to the military commissions, we put a lot of pressure on the Americans to accelerate the charges being brought against David Hicks, and I remind the people watching this program that David Hicks did plead guilty to a series of offences," he said.
"David Hicks trained with Taliban,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], David Hicks was associated with groups that were behaving in a manner that was completely opposed to the interests of this country, and the idea that we should see him as a hero is very misplaced."
He also defended his decision to send Australian troops into Afghanistan and Iraq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], using the justification of weapons of mass destruction.
Speaking on the ABC's Lateline immediately after Q Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce said someone like Mr Howard would always divide opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"He's a dynamic character, one of the greatest prime ministers this nation will ever see,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Senator Joyce said.
"And people who are dynamic and people who have presence will always have the people who love them and the people who dislike them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"And every crowd's got a fool and you had one their in your studio tonight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
It's not the first time Mr Howard has had shoes thrown at him.
He reportedly had a Doc Martin boot hurled at him as he prepared to deliver a speech to Cambridge University in 2009.
During last night's television appearance Mr Howard backed current federal Liberal leader Tony Abbott to lead the party into the next election, saying he had earned the right.
