My Penis is hungry Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Cannot express what a great man he was, he suffered under the worst cruelty of the Japanese, yet was among the first to welcome them at the end of the war, the lessons that came from his tragedy made him the man he was. FRom Albo - He worked on the infamous Burma-Siam Railway, and after being sent to Japan he witnessed the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on the horizon. Far from producing bitterness, this experience politicised Tom and shaped his philosophy that he was to live by for the rest of his life. As part of Weary Dunlop’s force, he lived by what he described in his first speech as “the principle of the fit looking after the sick, the young looking after the old, the rich looking after the poorâ€. His philosophical approach to reconciliation was exemplified by his often used quote by Martin Luther-King: Hate is always tragic. It disturbs the personality and scars the soul. It’s more injurious to the hater than it is to the hated. Tom returned from the war and became a manager of Woolworths before he entered Parliament as the Member for Reid in 1958. He had a remarkable parliamentary career over the next 32 years which included serving as a Minister in both the Whitlam and Hawke Governments. He championed sustainability of both our natural and built environments and successfully campaigned for social justice and civil liberties.
