For at least 15 years (as long as I can remember), Richard Morecroft and his smiling curl-framed visage have been presenting ABC National News in New South Wales.

I first remember Richard from his appearances on the children's current affairs programme, Behind The News (BTN), which was compulsory viewing at my primary school. He has more recently been presenting news on TV Australia, which is broadcast to South East Asia, and is one of the most sought-after hosts or MCs in Australia.

Fuzzy Dick is possibly best known for his voice. His pronunciation and clarity verily define perfect Australian English. He has won many awards for his speaking voice, including one for being the easiest person on TV to lip read.
