Uncle Barry - looking after the nation


My father and I share many heroes. We know who they are because whenever one of us bumps into one of them, we tend to ring the other and brag like f**k.
They're mostly great Labor or union movement figureheads. People from the history books. These people do not include Charles Court (Who refuses to die - happy birthday Charlie, by the way). These people do include Barry Jones.
Last night Barry was interviewed by one of my profession's best, Maxine McKew, on the 7.30 Report.
What he had to say is extremely worth listening to (or, indeed, reading). The transcript is here.

That guy is a f**king hero. And that was a good interview. Ofcoarse in our current political environment, he is an extremist lefty and is probably concealing a bomb... You would have faith that he of all people would blow up the very best of victims...
