Malcolm, Gough and Rural Law? I don’t think so…

March 8, 2009 – 5:44 pm, by Margaret Simons

Readers of the Rewind feature in this weekend’s  Sunday Life Magazine (distributed in the Sunday Age and Sun Herald) might have been surprised to see Malcolm Fraser apparently assert that he and Gough Whitlam agreed on “rural law”.

Which law would that be? Speed limits on the open road? No cattle duffing? No singlets in the front bar?

Isn’t it more likely they agree on the RULE OF LAW?

    I bet it wasn’t anything to do with building dangerously low fences so that the bulls on sale look bigger. Gough would have been all over that like a bucket of worms.

    Gough could trot out that smaller calibre/greater bore exchange with Jim Killen again.
