Raised in Brisbane. One of 15 kids in a Catholic family, two of whom were police, another lawyer and three nuns. The round dinner conversations and opinions must have been loud and extraordinary.

I was sitting in court watching O'Gorman in a private practice case.

Less impressed.

I can remember when he was a younger redhead firebrand in the 1980s, which is when I lived in Brisbane. It's good to know he's lost nothing of that fire.

A shame Terry won't be around to take on Crisafulli.

Sad that he’s retired. We need another Terry who’s not afraid to stand up to dictators.

Because in Queensland, we now have a new dictator in our midst.
