He spent eight years on Mosman Council as a councillor and deputy mayor. In 1996, he became chairman of the not-for-profit Pedestrian Council of Australia. Harold is a passionate crusader for pedestrians, particularly 'walking families — moving forward', and the executive director of Ausflag Limited, which wants the jack removed from the Australian flag. He has written articles for Australia's leading newspapers, and his favourite quip is one of Jerry Seinfeld's: 'I love the Australian flag ... Britain at night.'
