 Edward McTiernan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McTiernan was born in Glen Innes and studied arts and law at the University of Sydney.
McTiernan went on to serve in the ministry as Minister for Justice and Attorney-General of New South Wales, and was heavily involved in Premier Jack Lang's attempt to abolish the New South Wales Legislative Council.
McTiernan had no intention of resigning from the bench even into the 1970s, but a stroke ultimately forced him to resign in 1976, at the age of 84 - it is said because Barwick refused a request for a wheelchair ramp to be installed.

So in two important constitutional cases heard during his first year of office, Sir Harry exhibited his judicial independence by delivering powerful dissenting judgments expressed in customarily felicitous and succinct language.
