Was reading Sydney's Daily telegraph today on an article of Neville Wran. (1926-2014) It states that Neville was also a poet as well as a labor legend. maybe the A.B.P.A. could chase up a poem of Neville's for the magazine as a nice tribute to him.

I had a good search Duncan in a few places that usually turn up things like this and couldn't fine squat - other than that poetry was read at his funeral - not I think his. So if he was a poet he must have been a closet poet.

I think Duncan may have misheard, the word was not poetry but profanity.

What are you on about Manfred ? :roll: It was Paul Keating that said "Neville Wran had a PhD in poetic profanity" . I don't think he meant bush poetry, although, you never know??? :lol:
