RIP Bernie Banton - Working Class Hero

Surprised no-one's posted on this yet. Bernie was of a breed seen rarely in Australia these days. "Just" a working man who couldn't let an appalling injustice go on. While dying one of the most awful deaths that can befall a person he fought for others who couldn't. He could have spent his last years spending all his time with his family and enjoying what time he had left. Instead he fought like a mongrel dog for justice.

We'll miss you Bernie.
