Hello there, my name is Floyd Kermode. I typed Frank Hardy's name in the search box in an idle moment and was amazed to find nothing about him. I'm into comics, especially 2000 AD and a lot of the writers from that have wikipedia entries but not Frank Hardy. Since he was quite important for Melbourne politics and literature, I'm starting a page on him.

 It's my first page, so feel free to edit and/or improve it.  I know I should use the sandbox and tutorial and so on, but I figured something on FH is better than nothing.

Did Hardy's work really "directly" cause Gough Whitlam to introduce Land Rights legislation? It sounds unlikely to me. While I bow to almost anyone's expertise on the subject of Frank Hardy, I'm reasonably well-informed about Whitlam and this is the first I've heard of Hardy influencing Gough's policy on Aboriginal rights
