Robin Millhouse, first Democrats MP and ‘maverick personality’, dies aged 87
Former maverick MP and Supreme Court judge Robin Millhouse is being remembered for his contribution to law reform in South Australia after dying at the age of 87.

He was also a devout Christian, a fitness fanatic, cycling enthusiast and ardent nudist.
