Jo Gullett - After Politics

After Politics

Gullett had a long association with Canberra - he had spent most of his childhood there, and in married life, he took up the lease on Lambrigg station, the ACT rural property which had earlier been home to William Farrer during the time when he developed an important strain of rust-resistant wheat.

In the 1970s, he was a member of the Australian War Memorial Council, and served as its chairman between April and August 1974. He is featured in the Memorial's Fifty Australians exhibition.

Gullett was the author of two sets of memoirs, Not As a Duty Only, which covered his war service, and Good Company: Horseman, Soldier, Politician, which was a more complete autobiography.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    The politics of the family are the politics of a nation. Just as the authoritarian family is the authoritarian state in microcosm, the democratic family is the best training ground for life in a democracy.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.
    —G.M. (George Macaulay)
