I lived in Brisbane 1975-1980. My friends there were some of the most brilliant people I've ever known. When Whitlam was deposed I went with my friends to King George Square to demonstrate. I traveled around and met many wonderful, intelligent people. It breaks my heart to see such a great country taken over by a bunch of right wing assholes. It is sad to see another country almost destroyed by the Murdoch Empire.
