The fact that the man “ …. was the leader of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria, which built the state's electricity system on the back of brown coal from the 1920s onwards” alone seems to be a good reason why he should be honoured by a group trying to get back to common sense on coal.
It’s a great pity that we do not have any John Monashes now. But the mere fact of having his name evoked gives some hope for the future, despite the really little people deindustrialising and ruining Australia now.
