Peter Hore is an Australian man best known for public stunts such as disrupting the 1997 Melbourne Cup by running onto the track during the race, interrupting a tennis match at the Australian Open, and gate-crashing celebrity funerals.[1]Template:Refn
During a World Cup football qualifying match between the national teams of Australia and Iran in 1997, Hore ran onto the field and cut the Iranian team's net, right after the second Australia's goal (scored by Aurelio Vidmar).[2][3] According to ESPN FC, the resulting delay of eight minutes was a turning point in the match, allowing the Iranian team to "regain their cheer" and go on to win, resulting in the dramatic Australian elimination.[4]
In 2007, Hore publicly told Queensland premier Anna Bligh that he would run for her seat in South Brisbane the following year.[5] He ran against Kevin Rudd as an independent in the Division of Griffith in 2007, polling over 2,200 primary votes as "P.M. Howard".[6]
