In response to Richo’s grave should be extra deep

Machiavelli on steroids

A superb critique of the malignancy that was Graham Richardson that metastasised throughout the Party from the NSW Right. He was heartily detested by Whitlam as “a man on the make” whose only interest was in personal advancement and personal gain. He is no loss to a nation that might wish to aim for honesty and integrity in public life.

Richo epitomised what can happen to political parties when taken over by apparatchiks of the Machiavellian kind.
