NEIL O'REILLY

The death of Neil O';Reilly is a sad loss to Australian journalism. I remember Neil well from his time in the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery in Canberra. He was a decent, honourable person to deal with and had a keen nose for a good story.
He always behaved with great civility and professionalism, balancing his journalistic pursuits with a good sense of humour. I extend my sympathy to his wife and family.
