RIP Bernie Banton.

An emotional Prime Minister-elect Kevin Rudd this morning paid tribute to asbestos cancer victim Bernie Banton, who died in his sleep overnight.

Mr Banton, 61, became a nationwide symbol for workers' rights after battling construction giant James Hardie to win a $4 billion compensation package for workers who suffered from asbestos-related diseases.


His family have been offered a state funeral.
