G is for

GOUGH (of course). Labor leaders are probably more loved and mroe hated than their Liberal counterparts.
None more so than Edward Gough Whitlam. My dear late friend Joyce Townend, a fervent Labor party supporter, would speak little of politics normally, but often of Gough. She, like many of us, thought him to eb a sort of saint. Though he was deeply flawed, profoundly arrogant and absolutely brilliant.
As it turned out, a fatal combination.
