Scoundrels yes, patriotism, probably not.

John Curtin is (quite rightly) idolised by the ALP as an example of an effective war-time leader. With the date being Anzac Day and a new hagiographic biopic, Curtin showing on the ABC, its perhaps a good time to illustrate how exactly this man was treated by fellow Labor politicans and the Union movement.

According to this op-ed, they effectively killed him.

Well - to be fair - the ANZAC legend never metioned mud and blood and tears....
