Richard Flanagan: Aloha, little Scotty from Marketing, is it resurrection you’re looking for?

The return of Nero was scripted by Scotty from Marketing and embellished and blown up by his colleagues in Publicity over at News Corp.

Richard Flanagan has called out Australia's "gaslighter in chief". 

Admittedly, as some may have whispered at his office’s Xmas drinks, Scott really only had one line in copywriting, but it had in the past worked well – or well enough.

These days though all his old lines were becoming national jokes so well known even Lara Bingle was in on them.
