CONDOLENCES › MacKellar, Hon. Michael John Randal, AM
The SPEAKER (14:18): The Prime Minister properly referred to the fact that I knew Michael MacKellar extremely well. Until I became the member for Mackellar, Michael MacKellar was my member in Warringah. The two name crossovers used to cause confusion for many people. I very well remember Michael all those years with his then wife, Robbie, and family, the great love they had for their children and the difficulties that they had to overcome. I served as a branch president and vice-president of his conference. I knew him very well. He was someone who was totally committed to seeing Australia prosper and her people prosper. It comes to me as a great shock that he has passed away. I ask all those present as a mark of respect to rise in their places. Honourable members having stood in their places— The SPEAKER: I thank the House. Debate adjourned.
