PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 2 MARCH 1990
I have sent the following message to Prime Minister
O Andreotti of Italy:
Mr Dear Prime Minister
On behalf of the Government and people of Australia may
I say that the news of former President Pertini's death
was received here with much sorrow.
Dr Alessandro Pertini was one of the great
humanitarians of our time and brought to his Presidency
and long career as a democrat, politician and
statesman, qualities which earned him the respect and
admiration of the international community.
He will be especially missed by his many fellow
Italians who have settled in Australia. Sandro Pertini
would have been proud of their outstanding contribution
to the development of this country, because in so many
ways they draw inspiration from the values for which he
* fought and stood so firmly.
