Heckler (Episode 197)

The Heckler attended at a public meeting at the Glad Tidings Mission Hall held by election candidate Leonard Swindley when he stood for council in 1962. At one point during Swindley's speech, the middle-aged man interrupted the speaker to ask if he could do anything about compensation in relation to compulsory purchase orders. His question derailed the proceedings as Swindley invited the man to ask again later during the Q&A, causing other members of the audience to speak up in the hecker's defence and bombard Swindley with questions of their own.

Once the meeting got back on track, the heckler took his seat again and he was present later when the Mission's boiler exploded, covering Swindley and his canvassing agent Mr. Spinks in soot.
