Boris Frankel — 24 November 2021

I first met Stuart over 50 years ago at Monash and then met up with him and Martha in Cambridge during the 1970s as he began to apply that phenomenal appetite for work that produced numerous publications over subsequent decades. Like hundreds of others, I thank Stuart for his generous support that he somehow managed to fit in to his teaching, research, family and social life. The young Stuart in his tweed jacket and pipe always looked incongruous for a left-winger in Australia. Yet he contributed much more to supporting socialist and labour causes than many a so-called faux 'workerist' who fell by the wayside while Stuart long kept alive his valuable public contribution to progressive causes. Deepest sympathy to Martha and family.
