That bloke off the ABC who talks about health is Norman Swan.

“That bloke FROM the ABC…”. You have to be careful when slagging off the opposition (unless, of course, it was an attempt at humour).

Well at least Dr Mumbo is still reading B&T 🙂 (although not linking to the article concerned I see)

I love the nascent Chinese whispers effect in that error (no racism intended or should be taken – it’s a colloquialism). Wayne Swan. Norman Swan. Norman Schwarzkopf. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch.
It’s a NewsLtd conspiracy!

@willemrt. Tim used to boss it at bandt, however decided to have a go at engaging this market himself and didn’t he do well!
“off” is well known speak: “off the tv” etc. (right or wrong it is a well known, informal saying.
My guess is that the first two comments are by people associated with bandt. I am not associated with Mumbrella.
Would Wayne Swan be taken more or less seriously if his first name was Norman?

Thanks Dr Mumbo for taking the time to highlight – feel free to link to the exclusive story. There but for the Grace of God goes every journalist in the digital age (although there are some glass houses nearby you should be careful of throwing stones too close to).
@But I thought? Interesting speculation, but we don’t have time to waste trolling other websites on things like this, unlike some of our competitors.
Yes, I am associated with B&T.

Norman Swan would do a far, far better job.

@ Triscott
Has Wayne Swan done a bad job? The global financial community say he has done a sterling job?
Norman Swan does sound great though!

But I thought: I have absolutely no connection with B&T except that I used to read it way back in my radio days (a very long time ago) and I went to school (a very, very long time ago) with Barrie Parsons who once (a very long time ago) edited the mag. Couldn’t tell you last time I looked at it.
