My Speech
from Tall And True Short Reads
I'm getting too old for this. My speechwriter's pulse quickens as the PM mounts the flag-decked stage, flanked by senior ministers and mining industry executives, to announce her government's green coal plan. Panned by environmentalists and scientists, polling suggests it could be a vote winner … if the PM nails my speech. My Speech is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
