FOR MEDIA TUESDAY, 3 JULY 1979_
RETIREMENT OF SIR CLARRIE HARDERS
On the retirement of Sir Clarrie Harders as Permanent Head
of the Attorney-General's Department announced by the
Attorney today, I want to add my personal tribute to
Sir Clarrie for his many years of public service.
Sir Clarrie has earned the respect of successive
Attorneys and successive Governments both because of his
professional advising and administrative capacities and
because of his dedication.
Sir Clarrie has made a particular contribution over the
years in the fields of international law and law of
the sea. Most recently the Government has appreciated
his contribution in the development on an agreement with
the States on matters of off-shore jurisdiction.
