Vale: Richo was a clever, honest minded and sensible politician, whose lifetime was given attempting to make Australia a greater place for future generations, your time in politics contributed a fantastic deal to the muse of our democracy, you have been clearly saddened talking to Paul Murray on Sky TV whenever you mentioned the mess the present ALP had made from our as soon as nice nation, fools whose political greed couldn’t see the destruction they have been creating. – Gil Might, Cairns Information contributor
