Dismiss May 17, 2021 — 9.00pm Normal text size Advertisement Brian Murphy of Wollongong has known “Mick Mac” (C8) for 55 years. “I’ve only heard him swear once. I was doubling him on the handlebars of my bike when I cut a corner because of a flat front tyre, into the path of an oncoming taxi. Yes, he is a gentleman, even so. (And a good mate).” Coming from the ’Gong, we’re assuming Brian is referring to the plumber as opposed to the deputy PM.
