Vale Malcolm Fraser: a giant and a visionary : Comments

By Craig Laundy, published 2/4/2015

Our challenge is not to say goodbye; it is to be more magnanimous in his death than we were in his life and to acknowledge this giant, who was surely one of us.

Fraser was in no sense “a giant” in politics.
He was a lefty, who attacked his own party, and cosied up to the greens. Sarah Hanson Young was his protégé
His mean, self centred attitude was encapsulated in his action of substituting cattle-yard fences at a sale of his cattle with non-standard fences which deceived buyers into believing the cattle were bigger. A selfish and dishonest tactic.
The world became a better place with his death, as it did when Whitlam died. Bob Brown will add to the improvement when he joins them.
