Disregard the media hooha suggesting former Prime Minister Howard is going to head rugby league in Australia . Little Darwin has an exclusive scoop : Little Johnny is to become a rodeo clown , saving buckjumpers from rampaging bulls and snorting brumbies . Wearing a bright red Akubra hat , padded pink pantaloons and size 15 floppy shoes, he will become a star attraction on the rodeo circuit.
The Stockman’s Hall of Fame in Longreach convinced Mr Howard he would be more popular than Buffalo Bill if he became a rodeo clown. Mrs Howard is understood to be right behind the new career for her husband as he will bring home a meat tray and a pair of ears from each rodeo.
Shocked residents in the wealthy Sydney suburb of Wollstonecraft rang police when they saw Mr Howard, fearing he was a smelly tramp, going for his early morning power walk in a rodeo clown outfit instead of his baggy green and gold Australian tracksuit . Dogs howled, pussies climbed high trees and refused to come down , the milkman’s horse bolted and postmen fell from their bikes in droves. Men in white coats with long- handled nets chased Mr Howard as he flip- flopped along the streets , causing mayhem on the roads. He will be seen tempting fate and fierce imported Spanish bulls at a rodeo in Darwin next week. Many local clowns will cheer him on as he shuffles around the ring chased by enraged animals . Peter Costello is expected to attend every rodeo at which his beloved former leader acts the clown .

Should Mr Howard be gored by a Texan longhorn while in Darwin he can renew contact with Dr Notaras at the Royal Darwin Hospital as they used to have each other's telephone number .
