The amazing oratory of Noel Pearson, the passion of Cate Blanchett and the humour of Antony Whitlam were all on display at Gough Whitlam’s memorial service in Sydney yesterday.
I caught them all in full through the wonders of the intergoogletube for which I am eternally grateful. Do yourself a favour and do the same. They were wonderful, one and all. But if you only have time for one, take the 15 minutes to listen to Noel Pearson’s passionate and beautifully crafted speech. And tell everyone you know – it is a speech that should be heard.
