### Barney Foster: 1950 - 2004

Barney Foster was born in Alderley, Queensland, Australia in 1950. He was raised in a family of politicians, and his father was a former mayor of his hometown. In his youth, Foster attended a prestigious private school in Sydney and then went on to school upon deciding to enter into legal practice.

After a graduation, Foster stayed in Townsville to practice law after landing an internship at a local law firm. He quickly gained a reputation as a skilled lawyer and was known for ability to win difficult cases. In 2004, he decided to run for mayor of Townsville and won in a landslide victory after announcing his public support for the newly debuted Powerpuff Girls.
