Thanks for the correction Tony. Never could spell Joan's name properly
and I did forghet that Dick retired before the election. So much for
Lindsay Thompson that I couldn't remember him. He did try to carry on
Hamer's policies at times so I suppose he could be really considered
an extendion of Hamer;-)
