The Hag
One was out and about last night … the first time one must say in some three months … a bad bout of Greenus Fairyous Absintheus … Nasty Little Bastard affliction … had kept your correspondent dangerously bar-bound.
But, in the interests of her readership (thank you Cousin Wayne), there she was taking Calvados just last eve at the wondrous Boathouse … when she spied Bob … the Gently Bearded … Gordon.
And, his dinner companions were fascinating …
… A darker gentleman indecipherable to the in-Absinthe Hag.
… A Blond Gentleman, who apppeared to have Rayonier written all over his casuals.
… A Union Man; my eyes were too glazed to see whether it was Scott McLean or his mate …
… But Oh, what a gathering …
And, while Hag is at it, damn you:
She commends the OZ editorial of Wed, which says in part:
In response, Mr Wright said he tendered his resignation three days later but this was withdrawn after he was told the Premier did not intend to go ahead with his threat. But the state Government did intervene after Gunns threatened to withdraw from the project. Mr Lennon now faces the prospect of an investigation by the DPP for attempting to interfere with the commission process. A constitutional lawyer has told The Australian Mr Lennon’s actions may be in breach of section 17(a) of the act establishing the independent body. Such a breach carries a maximum penalty of six months’ imprisonment. If the matter is referred to the DPP, Tim Ellis, Mr Lennon can expect it to receive thorough consideration. Mr Ellis has shown himself fearless and immune to political pressure.
