@margokingston1 Happy Birthday, Margo! An old friend from the days of #Webdiary, and #NotHappyJohn. I turned 82 a few months ago, health declining a bit, but still around. Have a good celebration!
Those who muddied the waters between guardians and traders - see #Webdiary 2003 by @alistairmant1

For the worst Public Services in 50 years, with the highest taxes in 70 years.
Who has stolen all our money?
Crazy that PwC would be considered a viable confidential adviser to Govt departments. The result of ‘muddying the waters between guardians and traders’, from my 2003 #Webdiary.

Re-read ‘Yours not to reason why’, my chapter on us invading Iraq in Not Happy John, first time in 20
years. Big memories.
#Webdiary’s Iraq discussion was the best quality in its life. Long pieces for and anti, civil discussion, depth.

@jcgmurphy @ScottsoWales @AllenAndUnwin I’m proud of that book, captures the Hanson panic & transformed how I wanted to do political journalism. SMH ed McGeough agreed to me living in Bourke to report indigenous & rural affairs report outside in. Then he insisted I be COS Canberra instead - #Webdiary was my reward :)
9. And now, an intellectual’s take on #IndependentsDay! My chat with @timdunlop, an influential early contributor to #Webdiary so excited by the 2022 election result he wrote ‘Voices of us: The independents’ movement transforming Australian democracy’. @HardieGrant
PODCAST: @timdunlop talks with @margokingston1 about his #IndependentsDay book Voices of us https://t.co/gSNq40dbIb #auspol #ausvotes
@margokingston1 @geeksrulz @smh You really were a trailblazer Margo. I'm just flashing back now to how thrilling it was to engage with a real journalist in 'the media' on important political issues - peak Howard era, a lot going on - on breaking news as it happened. Now we take it for granted on Twitter.
Twitter is a superb news site - you can see the sausage being made and join in, real time, & block bad vibe people. Been here 10 years - when I joined, Webdiarist @geeksrulz made me a website - my new #Webdiary. The @smh cancelled me, Twitter gave me my voice back. #RIPTwitter
4. I’m constantly reminded of Alistair Mant’s great article ‘Muddying the waters between guardians and traders’ which I published on #Webdiary in 2003. The distinction has now virtually collapsed, Liz Truss is just upfront about it.

Thrilled you read #Webdiary, Margot. My mainstream effort to democratise journalism. Thought I was done when it collapsed :)

@margokingston1 We all stand in your shadow, Margo. I’ve learned so much from your original Web Diary and groundbreaking combination of journalism and advocacy
Thanks to everyone who's emailed. Hugely exciting to have so many people interested. I will get back in touch with everyone in coming weeks once we have a form set up. And there's still time to email me, so don't be shy.
