Some of Gough's great quotes have recently been replayed -
What will you do, if you find out after you die, that God is real and you have to face him?
" I would treat him as an equal, of course".
And -
"People seem to think I act as if I am immortal. Of course I am not, but I am eternal."
In recent years, (is it decades?), Gough has played to his image of an arrogant, self-important person. However one of his achievements was to reform the Labor party before being elected as Prime Minister. To achieve this, he must have been a skilled negotiator, and some of the eulogies support this assumption.
