He may have disappeared from our Saturday papers but he certainly hasn't been forgotten- by those who applauded his opinions, those he enraged, and by the politicians he wrote about. From mid-1987 to the end of 2008, no one had greater access to our national parliament and politicians than Alan Ramsey. From the granite quarry of national politics in Canberra, Ramsey wrote 2273 columns for the Sydney Political partiesAustraliaHistory20th centuryPolitical partiesAustraliaHistory21st centuryJournalismAustraliaAustraliaPolitics and government2001-AustraliaPolitics and government1990-2001Political partiesHistoryPolitical partiesHistoryJournalism079.94Ramsey Alan1476801O'Neill Ward1951-Prior GeoffMucci Michael1962-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781207203321The way they were3691584UNINA
