Mark Colvin, thanks and farewell

Vale Mark Colvin, a great sense of sadness at his death.

I met him once. when he looked like this.

In the 1980s he interviewed me for a Four Corners program on the Freedom of Information Act, whether it was working or not.

All the footage of that interview ended up on the cutting room floor.

I never held it against him.

Probably great editorial judgment about what to leave out of the program that went to air!

But what a wonderful companion by remote for years particularly for the last 20 at 6pm during dinner preparation.
