DEAR SIR,
Ms Rankin Reid’s ill-informed article on the Wongs’ collection attacking the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), its staff and most importantly its donors, demands a response.
Read the rest here: Gallery chiefs respond
The earlier article: Chinese Puzzle
There is also a link there to Leatherwood Online, which has pictures of the collection.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a reply. If memory serves, the last time a TT correspondent called JRR on one of her columns (sorry, make that “controversial columnsâ€) they received a lecturette on why the poor, silly punter should have sent the query to the Mercury in the first place.

I Googled JRR and according to the various sites, she is a very important person, ummm, just ask her!
So I don’t expect she feels the need to respond to folk here. As for the lecturer from the Mock, it was probably the editor of this site being mischevious:)
But, back to where we came in: isn’t Sir Guy Green a very important person, too, and a pretty honourable one, well certainly compared to his replacement?
There was much joy and harmony while he lived in the best piece of real estate this side of Bass Strait,
Methinks Sir Guy has cut the earth from under JRR and she is adopting the strategy of saying nothing and hoping everyone forgets very soon, especially her severely embarrassed editor.
Young Gazza, you’ve got to get columnists as well as the cadets to check their facts son. Journalism 101. Jock would have done it.
Perhaps, as he looks at ways of brightening up this site fter being done over by Barnsie, Mr Tuffin could invite Jock on board as a columnist. Wouldn’t that be a coup.
Page three girls would also be much fun. Come on Linz, old son. Get the box Brownie out now and get flashing, so to speak.
It would certain brighten up our miserable lives here in the grey world of Murray Street who have little to do but mentally undress some of our female members of Parliament as they wander around.
Much water saved here with that lot, I can tell you.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES;
fortunately for all concerned, there really is only one of me, so to the fake JRR whomever you are; as I use my eyes to make my living, there is a difference between “peak” and “peek”. And yes I am somewhat piqued that an anonymous commentator has put words into my mouth. While at times I weary of TT’s forestry content, I believe this site is an invaluable contribution to Tasmanian media.
Nudger, who says I haven’t checked my facts?
If you read Sir Guy’s letter in response to my articles in the Age and the Sunday Tasmanian carefully, you may observe that he is yet to actually answer the questions asked.
to the fake JRR come out come out whomever you are and tell us please, what is my mother’s dog’s name?
kindly
Jane Rankin-Reid
