I was able to read this from the newsletter link. Hope you can too.

And YEP! Exactly what's pissing off #Labor supporters...

The man who knew too much: Barry Jones on Albo, Putin and the end of the line

At 93, the Labor legend and former science minister is eyeing the “exit ramp”. But he isn’t going quietly, taking aim at Anthony Albanese’s lack of courage on reform and a political system that has lost its way.

Almost afraid to admit watching him on BP Pick a Box with Bob and Dolly Dyer. And arguing that the program's encyclopaedia was wrong, quoting alternate sources. The following week Bob had to admit Barry was right and their reference book was wrong. His head was full of facts and a perfect memory, and yet his powers of analysis were superb. Rarely the case.
