Interesting, I didn't know he was in an anti-road-building campaign. Do you have a reference? I can't seem to find anything about it by searching. I thought (as per the Wikipedia article, which is the only 'biography' I've read) that he got into politics through being a trade union organiser (and clearly always having the intention of entering politics).
He talks about his history in the beginning of this video.
At about 3mins he talks about it
Not a big fan of this channel and didn't even finish this video.
