I swear that’s Ray Martin standing next to Gough Whitlam.
Genius.
Or Dean Martin?
I hate to be a stickler for detail, but it was Ian Maclachlan who was present at the alleged 1994 conversation about the leadership, not Ruddock (see http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/power-marriage-on-the-rocks/2006/07/10/1152383677668.html)
It’s Ian ‘McLachlan’. And I ran out of balding men with glasses.
