Every Thursday evening, at the end of ABC TV's 7:30 Report, John Clarke and long-time collaborator Bryan Dawe conduct a mock interview in which they satirise a current political issue or personality.
In The Howard Miracle John Clarke, fully paid-up national treasure, presents a new collection of interviews, spanning the life of the Howard government. These weekly broadcasts are a wonderful and hilarious record of the highs and lows in the political career of our government.
