FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A memorial service will be held in Adelaide on Thursday to mark the 40th anniversary of the drowning of George Duncan, whose death was the catalyst for gay law reform in South Australia.
Dr Duncan, 41, died when he was thrown into the River Torrens on May 10, 1972, at a spot then known as a popular homosexual meeting place.
Vice squad police were thought to have been involved and more than a decade later two former officers went on trial only to be acquitted after declining to give evidence.
Three years after Dr Duncan’s death the SA parliament passed legislation to amend sex offence laws, becoming the first state to fully decriminalise homosexuality.
The University of Adelaide will stage Thursday’s memorial service on the university footbridge over the Torrens while a forum will also discuss the historical and political implications of Dr Duncan’s death.
Dr Duncan was born in London but educated in Melbourne after his family emigrated to Australia in 1937.
He returned to England to study law at Cambridge University and later lectured at the University of Bristol before taking up a position at the University of Adelaide just six weeks before his death.
