Creative writing

Sir: When Geoffrey Robertson gets it wrong he is calamitous. He ends his Diary note defending ‘a young librarian who in some felonious way misused a computer in order to release the information that the PM’s daughter had been given a scholarship by a Liberal Party donor’.

No Geoffrey, the 21 year old was in fact a creative writing and cultural studies student at the University of Technology, Sydney, and an unqualified casual library assistant.
