John Halliwell
Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (10:12): I am sad to say that a good friend of mine, John Halliwell, better known as Jack to many of us, passed away a few weeks ago. He was a staunch Labor man, as staunch as they come, an ALP member for 34 years. For 25 of those years Jack was the secretary of the Altona ALP branch. He taught me everything that I knew as his deputy. He worked tirelessly on a number of campaigns for both state and federal MPs. Jack was a keen golfer at the Kooringal Golf Club, where he was a member until just recently. He was also the president of the Truganina Explosives Reserve Preservation Society. Jack and his late wife Eve volunteered many hours at St George’s residential aged care, where Jack eventually found himself living. The last time I saw Jack was at St George’s care facility, and it was great to visit him. He was a great man, and he really brought true words – (Time expired)
