LINK John Elliott obituary: the businessman and Carlton president once touted as a future Australian PM | Australian politics | The Guardian
Oh yeah, I remember it. I can still remember the Murdoch Press touting this grifter for PM. Was it the Australian version of Time Magazine at the time with the front page story: "John Elliott: What he will do to Australia"? Do 'to' Australia was about right. Time passes but we are lucky this big businesses fast talking wind bag never got to the Lodge.
Good bye and good riddance, you Liberal grifter.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Grifter if I correctly recall was the polite descriptor. I recall encountering someone who proudly proclaimed him his mentor when I moved to Victoria. Typifying the breed was his complaint that he had to temporarily remove prohibited plastic bullbar from his newly bought second hand car in order to have it pass rego. After passing they were refitted. Hopefully like his mentor he is also now deceased.
I was surprised to see the Kennett fellow pontificating on tv the other night. They must be desperate.

I have just learned that today is a public holiday - one of several peculiar to Victoria - it's the day before AFL finals day so even more is closed than usual!
