[edit] Jacko ??

Jacko (1993), madness and television.

What does this refer to? Did he really write such a novel? JackofOz 04:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC) (no relation)

Looks like he wrote it. Have a look at http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/keneally/jacko.html and http://www.amazon.com/Jacko-Great-Intruder-Thomas-Keneally/dp/0340632437/sr=8-1/qid=1169015043/ref=sr_1_1/105-3689168-2052412?ie=UTF8&s=books Phaedrus86 06:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

Keneally did not change use the name Thomas to keep his identity secret from his family, and the article cited [http://www.australianbiography.gov.au/keneally/ does not say this. --Mateymate 15:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted incorrect "correction" and added full reference (which I omitted before)

I have reverted the change made from "good will emerged" to "good will emerge" back to the correct "good will emerged". I suspect it really should be "goodwill" but the transcript I've quoted from makes it two words, which I appreciate can be confusing. When I quoted it I made the footnote but didn't - must have got interrupted - put in the full citation/link. It's there now - so can be checked. Sterry2607 05:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
