“John Fahey helped deliver major reforms for NSW, both as Premier and as a senior member of the Greiner Government.

“Under Premier Fahey’s leadership, important achievements included the introduction of the Disability Services Act, the NSW Senior’s Card and the first NSW Minister for the Status of Women. As Minister for Industrial Relations, he led a major overhaul of NSW’s Industrial Relations system.

“He also played a key role in one of the biggest victories in NSW and Australian history – the successful bid for Sydney to host the Olympic Games in 2000. Many of us would remember the celebrations that immediately swept the nation after Sydney was announced as the winner – and the image of Mr Fahey jumping for joy at the news.

He was decent, loyal, honest and patriotic. A man of great faith and a loving family man. He embodied the best of Australia. RIP mate. I will miss you.”
