Mr HOGAN (Page) (14:04): 66421699 is a Grafton number I have rung or received a call from at least once a week, often more, for many years. It is or was Ian's phone number. I rang it often when I was frustrated; after a conversation with him I always felt calmer. Ian was a kind man and a gentle man—a man, as has been said, who served his community for 37 years. And there are many wonderful legacies that he has left our community, from flood mitigation, aged-care facilities to many more. He was an MP when the Queen visited our region in 1954. He worked with and knew well people who are an integral part of our political history. Robert Menzies and Earle Page were both close colleagues. He recounted a conversation with me once about a chat he had with Arthur Calwell, who felt a young and up-and-coming Gough Whitlam was going to be a problem. He is a personal friend of Doug Anthony and many other legendary political figures. He died at 1.30 last Thursday. He was just setting himself up for question time. Given the quality of some of the questions, maybe it was better he missed it! Life, like it does though, threw him many challenges at him as well as others. His first wife, Cynthia, died of meningococcal very suddenly in 1989. His only child, Scott, tragically took his own life a number of years later. But from every dark cloud, as we know, is a silver lining, and Ian's silver lining was his second wife, Florence. They have been or were married for close to 20 years, and I know she misses him already. He loved the Nationals, he loved the Clarence Valley and he loved this great nation. May he rest in peace.
