The oldest person to be a member of the Australian Parliament was William Morris (Billy) Hughes. He was aged 90 years and one month when he died on 28 October 1952 while still a member of the House of Representatives.
Mr Hughes is also the longest serving member of Parliament with 51 years and seven months of service representing various electorates in Sydney, NSW and Bendigo, Victoria.

Is this where we comment? Enjoyed the episode. Wild how much subsequent events have endorsed these "extremist" "tomato" policies - even ones that seemed particularly wild to the commentariat at the time, like weening ourselves off reliance on the US. (Nice RA3 soundtrack insertion there Griff)
Request: please could you both and the podcast (hell, and the Greens MPs in general) create and post from accounts on blu esky for interactions with the many of us who've long since left Musk's "X"?
