Apologies Stan for the racism you experienced professionally that I saw a headline on THE BBC declare recently. As an Australian, born here, so indigenous to the land but not aboriginal, in 1970, I thought from the housing commission upbringing I had, that you were wonderful from the first moment I saw you on the TV screen, tho i rarely watched you, coz you read news or sport or something which my teenage brain was bored with, but I thought you were hot and had no idea a superstar celebrity who mixed with educated evolved people of white and all colour skins, who had MONEY, would be racist. I really thought only yobbos, were racists these days in Australia, like people who are bred through relations and don't mix much or whose prents are simple.

What are Paul Barry's connections with Crikey?
I think he was an early backer / shareholder. He disclosed this during Mediawatch last week in the crickey vs Murdoch segment.
