He was reserve for the Australian wrestling team at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and represented his country in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. From the late 1960s he stood up as a staunch left-wing opponent of the Joh Bjelke-Petersen government. Involved in reforming the Queensland Labor Party in the 1980s, he became a senior vice-president, before becoming embroiled in a decade-long dispute within the Transport Workers' Union. He was subjected to 'witch hunts' and death threats, attacked under parliamentary privilege, gave evidence against corruption at the 1990-91 Cooke Inquiry into Trade Unions, and in May 2000 was elected Federal President of the Transport Workers' Union' Size: Small 4to.
