I thought that I heard him on the radio today, must be me.
Could be in India to cover the Final between Aust and WI for ABC.

I'll think you find he resigned from the ABC in protest at the 1st round of cuts by Howard in in about 1999.
IIRC he stood for parliament for the ALP in Tassie not long after but didn't get in , but given the ALP won I reckon hw owuld have got an advisors job in the Bacon / Lennon Govts.
I saw him in Alice Springs for the NT invitational side game against the West Indies in Nov 2000.
