This was Captain Francis De Groot of the political group The New Guard. This group was opposed to Lang's leftist policies, and the fact that the King's representative in Australia, the Governor-General Sir Isaac Isaacs, hadn't been asked to open the bridge. De Groot charged on his horse and cut the ribbon with his sword before the Premier of NSW could open the bridge.
