Not a reader of Murdoch’s The Australian, I was however drawn in while at the library yesterday by the stories published last Tuesday on the passing of Tom Uren (a Labor great and decent bloke, if ever there was one) and just wanted to publicly say I thought the obituary written by our Mungo MacCallum one of his finest pieces and that’s saying something because there have been many.
Extremely well done Mungo, my congratulations. Tom would have been proud.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
