FOR MEDIA 15 JANUARY 1991
I was saddened to learn yesterday of the death of Gordon
Bryant who preceded me as Member for Wills and who
represented the electorate with distinction for twenty-five
years, including a notable period as Minister for Aboriginal
Affairs. His passionate support for Aboriginal rights was a
mark of his character and will serve as a lasting reminder
of his concern for less privileged Australians.
I express my personal condolences to his wife, Pat, and his
family. Gordon will be accorded a State funeral later this week and
I will attend.
