He initially qualified as an engineer, but he re-trained as a barrister to effectively fight for social causes which deeply concerned him.
After a long political career, mostly spent as Attorney-General and briefly as Opposition Leader, he was appointed a Senior Justice of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.
Despite being acknowledged as the leading expert on the Australian Constitution, he was never appointed to the High Court of Australia.
