Oppose. I don't think we need to use the latter as that image makes Howard's skin tone look warmer than the former, clearer looking image, and little context has been provided about why we must use the second image. Howard's image doesn't need to be changed as he is still active in politics especially the internal workings of the Liberal Party, he was also campaigning for the Liberal Party in the 2022 federal election.[1]Qwerty123M (talk) 11:46, 23 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
The fact that he's still active in politics is a major part of why I'm suggesting a new lead image. It really doesn't make much sense to be using a nearly two and a half decade old portrait for a guy who is still actively doing stuff. Lord Beesus (talk) 13:25, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
This is the long term version of the infobox image prior to Celco85's change. The version they edited in is a retouched version which reduced contrast and smothed out skin tones and hence has less depth.
