DEATH OF SIR NEIL O'SULLIVAN
Tribute by the Prime Minister, Mr. John Gorton
I was deeply saddened to learn of the death today of my
old friend and colleague, Sir Neil O'Sullivan, I recall with warmth my
association with him in the Senate where he served as Government Leader
for nine years. He demonstrated ability and energy during his sixteen
years as a Senator, and will be remembered with affection for his long
and distinguished service to Australia.
He was a strong peirsonality and one of the most popular
men in the Parliament. His death will be a great loss to his family and his large
circle of friends. I extend deep sympathy to Lady O'Sullivan and her two
sons. A State funeral will be held in Brisbane.
