Hats off Stan, I rarely wear a hat but I'd put one on just to take it off for Stan

I remember watching him on the current affairs shows when I was a little one. He was that presenter with all the poise and class.

Then when I graduated to an adult I read his book, “Talking to my Country.” Australian identity investigated with such clarity. And the energy of it, the raw energy of his writing style, his telling of indigenous history. It was a very emotional read, very hard not to feel the deep impact of that one.

And then last night I went to the opening of MIFF with the film “The Australian Dream” which he wrote about Adam Goodes (and so much more).

This man will do much for this country. We need him badly.

Power to you Stan .

I talk to you in singular tone instead of plural because I assume a maximum of one person is reading this blog. But even if there’s two, you’re probably still reading it alone in a very singular way. Unless you are somehow reading it over someone’s shoulder who is also reading it. Ah ha. You’re one of those long sighted types aren’t you. Good for you.

Here’s the poster I put together. Used that condensed font on the credits just like Michael Bay would do. Proper movie stuff.
