Hi Tom,

Hear, hear.

As Richie Benaud might say "A good read, that". My son gave me a copy for Christmas and I read it gleefully in one day. Don Watson was Paul Keating's speech writer. Though I'm not sure we can blame KM for the entire decay of public language - bureaucracy, Hollywood and MTV have a lot to answer for too.
