Bob Ellis

Bob Ellis was born on 10 May 1942, in Murwillumbah (in Lismore according to The Scotsman), and studied at the University of Sydney. A journalist, he wrote a dozen screenplays, several of them AFI award-winners, and directed a few films himself. He wrote speeches for leaders of the Labor Party, to which he devoted several of his nineteen books; one of them was pulped in 1998 after a defamation suit brought by two conservative ministers. He died of cancer on 3 April 2016, at home in Sydney.
