| A wholesome staffer. |
In the stocks, ready to
be posted over the year
in Little Darwin , is literally
an avalanche of exceptional , informative, offbeat , unique , bizarre
and astonishing material . This includes the ongoing biography of Crusading Editor
“Big Jim ” Bowditch and an unusual Pete
Steedman story , which
will no doubt cause an
irritable , right wing commentator
with a sad face like
an Alabama Bloodhound
rush off to
a vet to
be dewormed. There will
be bumper ( some might say fat ciggy) issues of the
Magnautic
Island Times , a Mary Poppins angle and gems
from the rare book collection
at James
Cook University . Our file on
Communist author
Frank Hardy – the most Australian Australian - will
be aired as
will be book and art
items, ephemera , political
faux news , contributions by a growing
number of correspondents , both national
and overseas. The inimitable illustrator and writer, Peter Burleigh,will be well represented, either insulting Grey Nomads or sailing along French canals in his cruiser with Judi sampling fine wines and food . There will be a strong
defence of the
ABC and opposition
to
the criminal madness
proposal to dump vast amounts of spoil on the Great Barrier Reef and other acts of
environmental vandalism ; shipping
notes, aviation specials, memos to
Rupert Murdoch . Economic commentary...a short story or two ... the American scene ... on and on the spinning
wheel goes. PS :Yes, that clean - cut bikie is none other than Pete Steedman. Must be away as the Curlews are pecking and hissing at the screen door , demanding to be fed .
