Geoff Brock : the man who saved a city
Mayfield, Greg2018
Book
Love him or hate him there's no denying Geoff Brock has made a name for himself in South Australian politics. As the Independent MP for Frome following his shock win in the 2009 by-election he has represented the city of Port Pirie and those living in the Flinders Ranges, Upper Yorke Peninsula and Clare Valley. Geoff Brock made a huge impact with his negotiations over the Nyrstar lead smelter, lifeblood of Port Pirie. But his story began many years earlier on the plains of the Mid North, where he roamed with his itinerant worker father who struggled to feed his family. What is the driving force behind the man who was bullied at school, who overcame a stutter and who, as political kingmaker, eased Premier Jay Weatherill and his team into power? What has he achieved as Minister for Regional Development and Minister for Local Government? And what is his vision for the future?
