Vale Graham Richardson
On behalf of the NSW Government, I extend my condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Graham Richardson on the sad news of his passing.
Graham Richardson made a significant contribution to public life as a Senator, Cabinet Minister and long-time member of the Labor movement. He was known for his political insight, his commitment to the party, and his deep understanding of Australian public life.
As Environment Minister, he helped secure protection and world heritage listing of the Daintree Rainforest and Kakadu National Park, landmark decisions that left a lasting legacy for Australia’s environment.
His influence on the Labor Party and Australian politics was considerable, and his legacy will be remembered by many who worked alongside him.
Vale Graham Richardson.
