Garrett was _okay_ as a bowler — making announcements for ACF and getting some strong statements of principle aired in the media— trying to get others (Howard era ministers etc) out. Who knows if he even wrote his media releases but his voice carried. <br /><br />Batsmen are the ones in power, in govt in this instance and Garrett is way down the batting order after never delivering anything except his own wicket, in fact he shouldn't even be a minister but got in the team for his bowling and now gets a chance to hoick one to mid-off at the end of every innings. Embarrassing and a great disappointment for anyone in conservation movement who thought he was something more than he is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-47333337439184316462012-02-22T21:59:54.346+11:002012-02-22T21:59:54.346+11:00Please don't leave out the illustrious, nay fa...Please don't leave out the illustrious, nay famous Barker Old Boy, the one whose fame, intelligence and (in particular) his temperate habits have brought much lustre to the reputation <br /><br />M Ryutin SydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-27927279926424353122012-02-22T21:10:24.136+11:002012-02-22T21:10:24.136+11:00That's not quite right Super D.
