A giant oak tree has crashed in our forest

Alan Jones - December 28, 2005
WHEN David Lloyd George died the day peace was declared at the end of World War II, the publisher, soon to be prime minister, Harold Macmillan wrote that to those who barely knew Lloyd George, his passing was the death of another statesman; but to those who knew him well, it was like a giant oak tree crashing in the forest.
A giant oak tree crashed in the Australian forest of great people with the passing of Kerry Packer.
