Ross Gollan

Ross Francis Gollan (2 October 1902 – 11 November 1961) was an Australian journalist who was known for his work as a political reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald.

His columns were widely read and often strongly worded, and he quickly made enemies out of two major United Australia Party figures, Robert Menzies and Percy Spender.

Gollan disliked Fadden's replacement, John Curtin, and by 1944 had become one of the most vigorous critics of his handling of the war.

[1] On 11 November 1926, Gollan married Sylvia Stewart Russell, the daughter of literary critic Alfred Stephens.

They had an additional three children, one of whom, Myfanwy Horne, also became a journalist and wrote for The Sydney Morning Herald.
