Even T (who worked for the HEC in those early 60s days ANd was old-fashioned (as so many of us were) about homosexuality) wouldnt have a word said against him on the basis of his ethics / convictions.

My interest in politics is something I got from my Dad ( who was often a rather staunch follower of those to the political right and far from my own leanings). I can recall getting into a good debate at the pub one time (where many "good" political debates take place) and there was me arguing against the views of my father and others involved in the conversation. One bloke decided to bring Bob's sexuality into the argument and was really surprised when my old man turned on him and told him to pull his head in.

The title given to many as "Australian of the Year" may often be viewed as political and probably is, but I would like to point out it's a title held only by Bob in our current parliament AFAIK and that must mean/say something.
