WhoamI

only one person has died in nearly a year !(Len Maddocks) Bloody terrible if you ask me - thought James would have gone by now for sure; and Famo has been ill since being hit by a car a few yrs ago, but obviously is a tough little bugger!! Yes, it is incredible that Jeanne and Darryl are still holding on. Meanwhile, who could ever have predicted that someone like Jon English would have gone this year. Agree re English. And who knew Anne Deveson was so old. Is it worth putting a list in for next year or not?? My number pick would be Bill Collins.....

And I was thinking she was a certainty, but she just could not hold on till the New Year..... bugger!! Actually liked her films also, so double bugger.....

Sorry - please make it a Trump... Thanks

And another one bites the dust Former Senator Peter Walsh, Minister for Finance in Bob Hawke's Government has died aged 80. It seems it is going to be a bad year for former politicians in Australia with at least 6 already having died thus far. https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/27041536/former-hawke-minister-peter-walsh-dies/

And Colleen McCullough has died on Norfolk Island. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-29/australian-author-colleen-mccullough-dies/6055952

And another of Gough Whitlam former Ministers has died, Tom Uren. Mr Uren was a POW during WW II on the Burma Railway and one of the last veteran to serve in the House of Representatives. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-26/tom-uren-former-whitlam-minister-dead/6046340

Richie did not commentate during the Sydney Test. Maybe he was making a tv commercial instead. I agree it will be sad when he goes, he has not been in good health for a few years now. I also must admit it was a toss up between Karl S. and David Koch; and wishful thinking on my behalf.

Another of Gough Whitlam former Ministers has died, Keppel Earl "Kep" Enderby. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-09/former-act-politician-kep-enderby-dies-aged-88/6007848

Not really, he was a "progressive" (left-leaning) politician, unlike Thatcher; he had a brief premiership (less than a full term), unlike Thatcher; he was easily outmanoeuvered by his main political enemy etc. Maybe an anti-thesis of Thatcher? I meant in terms of reaction upon death, fucknut. (p.s. Holy shit, look at the front page... we have "details"! They're followin' and everything!) When Maggie Thatcher died, her "fans" have propelled "Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead!" to #2 on the UK singles chart; if fact, the theme of the day of her death had inspired numerous punk-ish songs (Pete Wylie [ The Day That Margaret Thatcher Dies!…: ; Hefner: The Day that Thatcher Dies: ) years before she actually kicked the bucket. I'd doubt that good old Gough Whitlam would get a similar treatment. But feel free to prove me wrong! That definitely won't happen. Anyway, put it this way: the conservative side don't really have a reason to loathe him - after all, they won! His governement was dismissed and then the Liberals were voted in at the next election. His ALP supporters won't turn the funeral into a time for recriminations either. If ever there is a controversial, it will be when his arch-rival and successor Malcolm Fraser dies (and I think Whitlam and Fraser buried the hatchet a while ago anyway.) I expect there to be more animosity around the funeral of Keating (for bad economic policies) or John Howard (Iraq and Afghan Wars.) It is really ironic that the man who helped kicked Gough out of office, Malcolm Fraser, is now no longer a member of his own party, having resigned from the LIberal Party in protest against the Mad Monk, Abbott. I was in Canberra on that day in November 1975 & remember it well. Gough did some wonderful things for Australia & I feel the country owes him more than it realizes.

Very sad news..... http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/latest/17300957/hazel-hawke-dies-age-83/

Nice to see other Aussies here. Is Ken Done unwell? Some others could include Raigh Roe, John Cornforth, Kevin Murray, Doug Anthony, Norma Tullo, Bill Hayden, Tom U'ren. Ken Done was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, however not sure how he is going. I was hoping Hayden was dead already; however forgot about Tom Uren. He was my local member for years whilst I lived in Sydney. Nice bloke also.

Being IT illiterate, I posted this in the wrong place, of course! Sad to hear of deaths of Christopher Martin-Jenkins, not long after Tony Greig's passing. Also must pull out the old Patti Page records, what a wonderful voice. 30 December 2012 - 09:00 PM Death List 2013: Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, Nancy Reagan, Gough Whitlam, Luise Rainer, Herman Wouk, Margaret Thatcher, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Stephen Hawking, Alice Herz-Sommer, George HW Bush, Annette Funicello, Bernadette Nolan, Mark “Chopper” Read, Betty Cuthbert, Chrissy Amphlett, Kristen Stewart, P.D.
