Not my Facebook page, John Howard says
A fake John Howard page on Facebook has been taken down after the former prime minister only became aware of it at a conference in Canberra.
The page carried a picture of the former Liberal leader and had used his name to issue posts about the cricket and politics - even thanking the public for birthday and get-well-soon messages.
Mr Howard first learned of the page during a conversation with a Facebook "friend" on the sidelines of a leadership conference on Thursday.
He later asked Facebook to take down the page.
