DAVID MARK: Tributes have been paid to the outspoken former head of the Victorian RSL, Bruce Ruxton, who died on the Gold Coast yesterday.
Mr Ruxton, who was 85, was a passionate advocate for war veterans and widows. But he’s probably better known for his controversial and colourful statements that invariably sent the RSL switchboard into meltdown as people called in to complain.
Adam Harvey reports.
ADAM HARVEY: Bruce Ruxton led the Victorian RSL throughout the 80s and 90s.
The league’s current state president, David McLachlan, says veterans couldn’t have had a harder-working advocate.
DAVID MCLACHLAN: Bruce would travel long distances just to assist them in their pension claims, to make sure that they got their entitlements. They revered him. There’s no doubt about that at all.
ADAM HARVEY: He won national recognition by distilling his conservative worldview into candid one-liners about the issues of the day. Like immigration:
BRUCE RUXTON: They should be put on the first rocket back to the country they came from.
ADAM HARVEY: Or prime ministers:
BRUCE RUXTON: Paul Keating couldn’t lead a person out of the mist of a Turkish bath, really.
ADAM HARVEY: Former head of the RSL’s NSW branch, Rusty Priest, knew Mr Ruxton for 60 years.
RUSTY PRIEST: He was a Victorian. He was a Collingwood boy. He was the embodiment of everything that the RSL stood for.
ADAM HARVEY: Mr Ruxton’s blunt turn of phrase would regularly send the RSL switchboard into meltdown.
RUSTY PRIEST: I’d switch the news on and suddenly find that Bruce had stirred someone up and the national president used to say, can you talk to Bruce and see if we can tone him down a little bit and I used to ring up Bruce and Bruce said, I’m only the speaking the truth.
And I said, yeah Bruce but there are different ways to speak it. He was a good bloke.
ADAM HARVEY: He outraged plenty but he didn’t always take himself as seriously as other did.
To raise money for an RSL project he entered the recording studio.
(excerpt from Bruce Ruxton’s rap song)
BRUCE RUXTON: My name is Bruce Ruxton and I’ll do as I please. I like Australia for Australians. I can’t understand the stink.
ADAM HARVEY: Mr Ruxton suffered from deteriorating health for several years. A memorial service will be held for him in Melbourne.
DAVID MARK: Adam Harvey.
