PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 7 June 1986
Neville Wran's decision to stand down as Premier on July 4 farks
the end of a decade of outstanding service to the ALP, New South
Wales and Australia.
Under his leadership the NSW Labor Government has provided that
state with a decade of continuous, comprehensive and consistent
reform.
At all times during my term as Prime Minister I have found
Neville Wran willing to act in the best interests of both New
South Wales and Australia.
The national achievement of the past three years above all the
creation of 670,000 new jobs could never have been reached
without a Labor Government in New South Wales.
Despite the persistent and unprincipled attacks upon Neville
Wran's character by his political opponents he has emerged with
his reputation and integrity untarnished and holds a place in the
first rank of Australian politics.
