I’ve always liked Alan Duff. Well, as close to always as I remember. He’s got guts, courage and determination. He doesn’t pull punches.
And it’s been a while since I talked to him. Alan’s new book, A Conversation With My Country, gave us the chance. The discussion runs for forty minutes but I wasn’t watching the clock. 
For those who are unfamiliar with Duff, let me introduce you.
There was so many other matters that I ended up passing them on to next week’s podcast, but I do get stuck into plastic bags and manipulating green activists, and a couple of other topics.
There’s also some good feedback. Feel free to write, comment, critique, politely or otherwise.
