       “In a famous bit of correspondence originally reported in 2008, the former Hawke and Keating government minister, Gordon Bilney, wrote a letter to a local government bureaucrat once he was on his way out the door."One of the great pleasures of private life is that I need no longer be polite to nincompoops, bigots, curmudgeons and twerps who infest local government bodies and committees such as yours," it said. "In the particular case of your committee, that pleasure is acute."Now there’s a piece of writing worth keeping in your ‘famous quotes’ booklet. I know I will. Dog, I wish I could write like that. It just fires me up. Thank you #LauraTingle Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-31/dear-government-labor-majority-mandate/105354842?#AusPol #Writing #WritingCommunity ##GordonBilney
