Australia has lost one of its political greats in Andrew Peacock.
Combining style and substance, he left an indelible mark on the Australian political scene. As Leader, Minister and Member for Kooyong for 28 years he carried the baton of his predecessor Sir Robert Menzies, championing Liberal ideals and providing strong and good government.
There was no more popular and respected Liberal in the Victorian Division.
Andrew held a number of senior portfolios in the Gorton, McMahon and Fraser Governments including Foreign Affairs, External Territories, Industry and Commerce, Industrial Relations and Army during the time of the Vietnam War.
His warm and sincere relationship with the people of Papua New Guinea was well known and saw him awarded the Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu and with it the title of honorary chief. His role in Papua New Guinea’s Independence cannot be overstated.
