Vale John Button: a unique politician

John Button, a great Australian and a much loved Labor politician is dead. He was all the things that will be said of him in the coming days and more. Many will remember his genuine humility, sharp mind and dry wit. Can' t remember him losing it or becoming flustered though he's sure to have done both given the sacred cows he regularly prodded out of the way. He was a great believer in the power of ideas and the spoken and written word. He was dedicated to winning people over, not through spin but by gentle persuasion.
