Bus conductor, shop steward, cricketer, solicitor, barrister, social justice campaigner, stirrer, judge … Being rude to a judge is not a contempt … Goodbye to Judge Bob Toner … Big send-off at Balmain Town Hall  COMMENT: It seems that a Brett Whiteley hand printed Bob Toner T shirt is about to emerge. Bob's campaign manager deposited various political documentation and ephemera with the State Library many years ago. The Library has agreed to forward the T shirt to the donor, which he will then present to Bob's family. Although Bob and I each easily fitted into those T Shirts in 1973, not so in more recent years.
