Subscriber only MEMBER for Page Kevin Hogan has led the tributes to former North Coast Nationals MP and deputy prime minister Doug Anthony. Mr Anthony died aged 90 last Sunday in the Heritage Lodge home in Murwillumbah. Mr Hogan said he was sad to hear of his passing. I always felt I was in the presence of a legend when I was with Doug, Mr Hogan said. He was always easy with a warm smile and interest in how you were going. The Nationals are 100 years old this year because of people like Doug. He is a role model of mine.

Thirty-year-long Pacific Highway upgrade finally complete: Prime Minister Scott Morrison spruiked the long-awaited completion of the Pacific Highway Upgrade as the most “significant infrastructure project” of the last thirty years and expressed his gratitude to those involved in its completion. Twenty-one lives were lost on October 20, 1989 when a semi-trailer collided with a bus on the Pacific Highway at Cowper 25km north of Grafton. More than 31 years, $15 billion and hundreds more lost lives later, this month Australia s largest ever road infrastructure project was officially completed. As part of the Pacific Highway Upgrade, there is now 657km of continuous dual carriageway from Hexham near Newcastle to the Queensland border.
