Lottah Nursery Tasmania, Australia

Open letter to the Governor
(expurgated version)

30 August, 1996

 

The Governor,
Government House,
The Domain,
Hobart 7000,
Tasmania

Your Excellency,

It grieves me to involve you in a public dispute with the Tasmanian Parliament but it begins to appear that short of [redacted] the Speaker nothing will induce the [redacted] to extricate their thumbs.

I enclose the fourth reprint of my open letter to Gray. An allegation of gross corruption at the highest levels of government is worthy of receiving satisfaction ... even from the inbred progeny of "footpads, purse-snatchers, sheep-defilers and bottom-feelers" despatched to Port Arthur.

[redacted] holds no great fascination for me. I shall be pleased if you will be so kind as to suggest to young Frankie* that it may be time to start wriggling his tail.

Yours sincerely,

 

T. Thekathyil
