Good onya, Richard Flanagan
For saying what needs to be said about Jim Bacon; a boomer mediocrity who was Left for about five minutes circa 1968, but who was – against all evidence and logic – allowed to affect a Left identity until his recent dying day.
For Flanagan’s trouble, current Premier of Tasmania Paul Lennon – an all-round toxic turd, by the sound of it – calls him “a bitter, negative, detached person at the fringes of Tasmanian political life”.
So Lennon believes in clear-felling thesauruses for adjectives, as well as old-growth forests for woodchips? In any case, in my book, Lennon ’s words are high praise.
