Congratulations to Cole and a well merited appointment to a true professional and gentleman … worked with Cole in the 1980s when he came down from Bundaberg as a young journo to join the Daily Sun in Brisbane and have followed his career since. There are a lot of “old school” values with Cole which are not always evident with communications people these days.
