Yet despite the catastrophes and public humiliation that dogged the last 25 years of his life, on a personal level Elliott remained mostly a charming man, the life of the party, charismatic to many. He was witty, warm-hearted, a man clearly devoted to his children and grandchildren, fun to be around. His distinctive laugh was as expansive as it was raucous. Those closest to him said his personal loyalty and generosity knew no bounds. Elliott also loved to party, referring to it as bonding.

He loved to quote trite Winston Churchill aphorisms. John Dorman Elliott was born on October 3, , in Melbourne, the oldest of three sons of Frank Elliott, a deeply religious man who began his career as a bank clerk and rose to become advertising manager of the ANZ banking group, and his wife, Anita nee Dorman , whose father had run successful bakery and milling businesses throughout Victoria. But after nine months in bed, wheelchairs and a leg calliper, he made a complete recovery.

He was also an emerging leader in the schoolyard. Unfortunately for Carey Grammar, singing did not interest Elliott. Football was his passion. He was not fast but used his weight to advantage and was good at reading the game. It also provided an outlet for his highly competitive spirit. He continued to play for his school as an old boy until he was When Elliott realised university would provide opportunities, he knuckled down to study in his final year and in won Commonwealth and BHP scholarships to Melbourne University to study commerce.

An above-average student with a stunning ability to cram, at university Elliott revived the defunct Commerce Society. But having to do clerical work for BHP in distant Newcastle during the summer holidays soon palled.

With a third-class honours degree in economics, Elliott began rethinking his career options. He spent two years at BHP after graduation, invoicing aircraft parts, but when told he would have to wait until he was 30 for a decent executive position, he quit to do an MBA. Then, in he joined American management consultancy McKinsey and Co. In May , Elliott married Lorraine Golder, an academically inclined young woman who was studying to be a teacher.

The former president of both the Carlton Football Club and the Federal Liberal Party, John Elliott, has launched his own website, to share his views on modern manners. As Rachael Brown reports from Melbourne, Mr Elliott says there was a gap in the market, for a site on restaurants, wine, politics, sport and manners.

This is my new website which is covering sport, business and politics. In addition I've got a section on manners which is most important for many people because Australians have some of the worst manners in the world - second only to the United States. They've all slipped. People don't even hold their knife and fork correctly. I now observe that people who buy a sandwich or a roll at a take-away, they eat their lunch walking down the street.

I mean that is appalling. That is not good for your digestion either. I was on a tram yesterday and there was a pregnant lady got on the tram and there was two guys sitting there. They didn't even stand up for her so we are not thinking of others like we used to. We were brought up to behave better than that. That was created by Steve Vizard in 'Rubbery Figures' in the s and I was always thinking of suing him but I didn't sue him but he got his druthers on his own so that is nothing to do with me at all.
