Don Chipp, as others have said, was a fierce competitor both in politics and in sport, but he combined that with a fierce care for people. So many people have described him as a larrikin who will certainly be remembered for his way with words. Apart from his very well-known quote of ‘keeping the bastards honest’, many Australians will remember Don Chipp for some of his other ones, and I will repeat some of the more famous of those.
