Nobody has ever been convicted of killing lawyer George Iain Duncan. Duncan drowned after being thrown from a footbridge into Adelaide's River Torrens by a group of men on 10 May 1972. He had only been living in Adelaide for six weeks and didn't know how to swim. The area was a well-known gay beat — a place where men gathered to meet and have sex. Duncan's death led directly to major legal reform in Australia and around the world.
"Adelaide citizens were horrified, they were outraged that a person of that stature should have met such a sticky end in their city. "They wanted to be a hospitable, cultured, sophisticated city, and here a highly reputable person had been drowned, possibly at the hands of police." Paech, along with friends and Duncan's University of Adelaide started a protest movement that snowballed.
