A shock today with the passing of Simon Crean. A great Labour person from a great Labour family. My former neighbour was a close friend of Simon and his father, I also met Simon through my neighbour and have a lasting memory of his demeanor.

Sad news.

By all accounts a very decent and honourable man. I was a young kid, but I remember him well when he was opposition leader against John Howard.

RIP.

Sad. I recall his brother missing years ago in the snow. Was never found.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️
