Shane Wright: Journalists are made up of many things and the West Australian's economics editor can lay claim to a family lineage which includes one of the country's first bushrangers and a sailor who remained loyal to William Bligh after he was relieved of his duties on the Bounty.

A country lad, he can't understand the infatuation of many Australians with sandy beaches or a morning surf. Marathon running with kangaroos and rabbits is much more his go.

And don't get between Wright, a Budget paper spreadsheet and a Kate Bush album.
