Abstract
John Henry Austral was a fictional character developed by Sim Rubensohn for the Liberal Party of Australia’s election campaign in the late 1940s. In total there were 200 episodes of a fifteen minute dramatised radio programme described as being "part serial, part satire [and] part soapbox", although only 22 episodes are held by the University of Melbourne Archives. These copies have not been digitally remastered, but this can be arranged by negotiation with the University of Melbourne Archives.
