AUSTRALIANA

Garfield Barwick was arguably Australia’s most successful barrister this century. He was also a remarkable foreign minister and a controversial Chief Justice. As a leading QC in the 1940s and 1950s he fought, and usually won, some of Australia’s most significant constitutional cases. But as Chief Justice in 1975 his advice to the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, which led to the dismissal of the incumbent Whitlam Labor government, divided the nation. For good or ill, Barwick will be remembered for this intervention long after the extraordinary achievements of the rest of his life are forgotten.
