Dicks the biggest hypocrite there is. Do as I say not as I do.

On the radio banging on about why we don't buy Australian, when the Australian product is consistently more expensive maybe some people can't afford it.

one of the great things about knowledge is its never too late to gain it. perhaps over time he has had a change of heart, perhaps as a result of having plenty of spare time on his hands, perhaps not. But irrespective of who he is or how he got there listening to the message rather than dredging the messengers history was the intent oft he documentary.
I personally believe the documentary had some valid ideas.

Do some research on Dick Smith, one feel good TV episode doesn't come close to what this guy is really like, some of his opinions rub even a self confessed hard-nosed right-wing redneck like myself the wrong way. IMO Dick is just another cunning person who really has his own self interests at the fore. As far as I'm concerned he's in the Tim Flannery category of people.
