‘Tireless’: Youth worker Les Twentyman’s ‘reach was everywhere’

Les Twentyman Foundation CEO Paul Burke discusses the “tireless” efforts of the late youth worker Les Twentyman. The 76-year-old spent more than four decades campaigning on issues including drug abuse, homelessness, social welfare and prison reform. Mr Burke told Sky News Australia his last conversation with Mr Twentyman was on Thursday about a project in the Northern Territory. “We’ve been assisting some of the Aboriginal communities up in the Top End – we’re supplying them with clothing and footwear,” Mr Burke said. “I mean, he was just tireless; his reach was everywhere.”
