ah, The Royale Family. What a great show that was.

I did not recognise the name when it was announced on the radio this morning, but my wife did. I figured it out in 5 seconds or so.
Very well respected man. Former Australian of the Year - which is a far more prestigious award than what it might sound; and is also no guarantee of widespread respect*.
*how Grace Tame has been received by a huge section of the population after being awarded the same honour is a great illustration of this.
Maybe
