  1. Fuck. Also fuck cancer. Huge loss for all the things Tim spent so much time fighting for.  Hope his personal battle works out for him.

  2. I’m a Labor supporter but I’m really sad to read this about Tim Read. He’s a hardworking local MP and a smart, principled and decent man. Prognosis sounds bad but I hope somehow he makes it through.

  3. Oh this is awful news. I’ve spoken to Tim on the hustings a couple of times, he is a very kind and decent man.

  4. Adventurelover- on

    Ah man! He’s a cousin of mine, a lovely person with an amazing and intelligent family around him. His mum, now in her late 80s, could give Usain Bolt a run for his money with how speedy she is.
