The duck hunter.......
1983 was the day before my birthday and Hawkey (the drover’s dog) defeated Fraser. I’ll always cherish Fraser’s concession speech where his bottom lip was a quivering. 1975 was still fresh in mind and I loathed Fraser for the reckless damage he caused to the Westminster system which is still not resolved to this day.
Prior to this was a 21st I attended in December 1977 which was Whitlam’s swan song. Gough suffered a crushing defeat and he was a hero to so many of my peer group who benefited from the sweeping reforms that his government had introduced during his term. Well alcohol and liberal supporters don’t mix. I was accused of insulting the Aunty of the birthday boy because she batted for the other side. I still maintain my innocence.
