- @ern_malleyscrub ?? That could be anyone on commercial television… what am I supposed to be looking for? in reply to ern_malleyscrub #
- It's been a good week of non-politician interviews on #Lateline Schama, McEwan & Sackett. #
- @ern_malleyscrub Oh well, there's always Bongiorno… in reply to ern_malleyscrub #
- Some interesting papers on the Australian Parliamentary Fellowship page: http://is.gd/aNe1E #
- Fraser and the Falklands: http://is.gd/aNhkv – Margaret Simons on the problem of verifying an anecdote for The Fraser Memoirs. #
- @smurray38 And she's right about the CARE/South Africa chapters – almost like a thriller in places. An impressive book. in reply to smurray38 #
- @smurray38 A Fraser remark about McEwen in the Memoirs has me now reading Peter Golding's Black Jack – one of the unread in my collection. in reply to smurray38 #
- @smurray38 Apparently Golding published a book on JJ Cahill last year – have you seen it? in reply to smurray38 #
- @Yr6Explores1984 Hunger is Freedom? in reply to Yr6Explores1984 #
- @Yr6Explores1984 fed, double-fed, double-fed good, obese…. in reply to Yr6Explores1984 #
- @smurray38 Thanks – it's been sitting undiscovered in iTunes… so many programs, so little time to listen! in reply to smurray38 #
- @smurray38 I've got the Carruthers & Holman/Osborne books from then… still on the to-read list. Vic is same: many old pols deservce books in reply to smurray38 #
- @smurray38 Lyons – the only Premier ever able to con a Governor into signing a Supply Bill not passed by the Council – have to admire that. in reply to smurray38 #
- @smurray38 I'm there every weekend but I haven't seen this one. They've also never stocked that book on centenary of Fusion – name escapes.. in reply to smurray38 #
- @JudeEkerick It's a Brizzie thing, especially at brekkie, something you say when you're havin' a yak… in reply to JudeEkerick #
- @smurray38 And we need a book on Anthony, Sinclair, Nixon and Hunt – hard men that Warren & Barnaby can only dream of emulating… in reply to smurray38 #
- @JudeEkerick Fair dinkum, you're a hard-to-please shiela. By crikey, you are. Fair suck of the sauce bottle, luv. in reply to JudeEkerick #
- @smurray38 I think the sad truth is most of them are just not very reflective. Look at the rubbish Menzies wrote. in reply to smurray38 #
- @JudeEkerick @smurray38 I don't agree with all this media flim-flam about Rudd's authenticity. He has some very irritating qualities… #
- @JudeEkerick @smurray38 …but his public persona is remarkably consistent, calm and clear. He mixes well. He by-passes the 'insiders'. #
- @smurray38 Even so, Hasluck is a very honourable exception to all these criticisms. He left a good body of work. in reply to smurray38 #
- @JudeEkerick @smurray38 And don't forget these pygmies we waste our time listening to say all these things about every Labor leader… #
- @JudeEkerick @smurray38 Whitlam was arrogant, Hayden was weak, Hawke was volatile, Keating was foul-mouthed – there's always something! #
- @smurray38 I don't think they read either. This is the signature in my pristine second-hand copy of Golding: http://twitpic.com/19c0c8 in reply to smurray38 #
- @JudeEkerick You're excused… in reply to JudeEkerick #
- Climate change strikes again… http://twitpic.com/19c0ub #
- @smurray38 I once saw Don Aitkin's "The Colonel" in the Military section of one of Melbourne's better book stores… in reply to smurray38 #
- But, Dennis, what about all those other articles you wrote during 2007? http://is.gd/aNnvL #
- Not so much #Contrarians as Boy's Own Annual. #
- Disaffected communists, proud socialists… I was wrong, this is "Point of View". #Contrarians #
