Interesting to see the Wikipedia page for Bob has already been updated to include today's announcement.

A lot of people bag Bob and anyone who supports the Australian Greens, but one thing any honest person must admit is he is/was a "conviction" pollie (even if you don't share those beliefs). We really do need more people like Bob from all parts of the political spectrum.

My idea of a champion.
I don't have to agree with people to find them champions ... like you I appreciate people leading from the front on unpopular thigns and always with civility.

We were in TAssie in the early 60s ... he did it very tough in the public arena ... how he kept going I have no idea.
