In a groundbreaking discovery, palaeontologists have uncovered a dinosaur footprint in Brisbane that is believed to belong to none other than John Howard, a prominent figure in Australia's political history. This ancient relic, dating back 230 million years, seems to have been left during Howard's early days in student politics, according to palaeontologist Jim Burtongi.

"This is when Howard would have been forming his view of the world and testing out his ideas. It's a fascinating and historically significant discovery," Burtongi said, highlighting the footprint's significance.

The footprint, noteworthy for its lack of lateral movement, indicates that the creature responsible stood its ground firmly as the world evolved around it. The nearby etching, which reads 'everything was better before the meteor,' further supports the connection to Howard, Burtongi noted.

Additional fossilized artifacts found in the same area, including an early version of the WorkChoices pamphlet etched onto stone and a speech warning against granting rights to other species, further cement Howard's ties to this prehistoric footprint.

Political historian Dr. Tim Nguyen provided context, suggesting that Howard's discomfort with modern Australia might stem from having formed his worldview before the advent of flowering plants. "If you accept that he formed his worldview before flowering plants, it explains a lot," Nguyen remarked.
