Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Michele Harris OAM

We of ‘concerned Australians’ were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Michele Harris OAM in Sydney at 9.45 pm on Monday 1st June 2015. Michele was an extraordinary person who had a deep love and compassion for all people. Wherever there was a need she brought her great intellect, insights and organising abilities to bear, which included those facing trauma both here and abroad. She especially had a deep, abiding relationship and constant dialogue with the First Peoples of this country, especially in the Northern Territory, and sought at all times to work with them in overcoming the continuing disempowerment they have suffered from governments over the years.

We will miss her wisdom and constant strength: a woman in mission to her last breath.There is now a challenge to continue the work that she has fostered. Our thoughts are with Ed, her husband, and family as they face the future.

In deep sorrow
