RIP Treat Williams. He died in a motorcycle (his) v car accident, aged 71. The car apparently cut across him.

He was a supporting actor that appeared in many top films & TV series, however I remember him as the lead actor in the horror film Deep Rising, about a slimy, tentacled monster from the deep that attacked a cruise ship.

by Fred Nerk Tue 13 Jun 2023, 21:52

He played the slimy tentacled monster?

RIP Peter Allan

A huge name in Qld cricket back in the 60s. When he retired, Peter held the record for most Shield wickets for Queensland. Once took 10/61 in an innings against Victoria. He played 1 test for Australia & also toured the West Indies in 1964/65.

He never quite made it to Rio....

RIP long-standing Brunswick State MP and former Cain/Kirner minister Tom Roper, aka 'Snappy Tom' aka 'Tom the Ropable' - a charismatic and fiery political performer, who was possibly not the greatest Minister ever to be sworn in (or at) but was revered to the end of his days as a local representative.

RIP Simon Crean, former Aus Pinko polly, who by all accounts, was a thoroughly decent human bean.

Dropped dead suddenly last Sunday at 74 while in Germany on an industry delegation.

Couldn't help Labor get the better of LJH. He took over the Opposition Leader's role after the Libs won in 2001, but got flicked for Mark Latham before the 2004 Fed Election, which was won easily by LJH.
