That's Debatable ... 60 Years in Print - Paperback

by Tony Thomas (Author)

This book of 45 essays - ranging from purely humorous to politically and socially grave - provides samples of the lifetime's work of a trained journalist of 60 years' professional standing. Thomas was a prominent writer for The West Australian (1958-69); The Age as Economics Writer from the Canberra Press Gallery, (1971-79); and BRW Magazine from inception in 1981 to his retirement in 2001, including a decade as Associate Editor. He is currently a prolific contributor to Quadrant Monthly and Quadrant OnLine. Thomas' interests, particularly in the political, stem from his early childhood indoctrination into Communism, followed by an adult reaction towards conservatism. Suffice to say he has ink and politics in his veins.
