“We learned this later [the man who threw the shoes]Peter Gray had terminal cancer and was in the hospital close to his death.
“We heard that he wanted to auction and give the money to the charity, and we did it with the agreement of John Howard.
“In fact, he signed a document that confirms that they were shoes thrown by Peter Gray from Newcastle, and thousands of dollars went to Red Crescent, the Islamic version of the Red Cross.”
