Transcript of Remarks in Honour of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch

Melbourne

PM: I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words about Dame Elisabeth Murdoch.

Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was a remarkable Australian.

Today we start our fond farewells to a woman who lived a long and amazing life.

We particularly admire her love of charity and doing good works for others.

She's been a fantastic patron of the arts in our country and has helped so many people forge their careers.

I do, as Prime Minister, want to offer my condolences to the Murdoch family and say that Dame Elisabeth will be missed.

She will be missed for her kindness and generosity.

She will be missed as an example of a long life well-lived.

Thanks very much.
