Just announced that former Deputy PM & Country Party/National Party leader, Doug Anthony has died aged 90.
Apart from his political career, he will probably be best remembered for cartoonists taking the p!ss, the comedy team Doug Anthony Allstars, and a line in the 1970s comedy series “The Naked Vicar Show”:
“People love me. It’s my animal magnetism.” (Bob Hawke look-alike when the real Hawke was thinking aloud of running for parliament)
“Animal magnetism?!? You have as much animal magnetism as a pair of gumboots with Doug Anthony in ‘em!”
RIP old man. 🪦
