Tyhe same could be asked of several previous Prime Ministers that also had
locomotives named after them. I hope some bright spark doesn't want to name
something John Howard! On a similar note you may be interested to know of the
name that was at one time applied to the side of 8248. It read Wal Murry
Community Champion Moree. This name lasted only days and was removed by staff
at Delec. I guess no one likes Wal.
