Archie Roach

Mr TARLAMIS: On another matter I want to commemorate the life of Archie Roach. Archie Roach was a remarkable musician, activist and storyteller, a remarkable man, a voice of his people, a campaigner for justice for First Nations peoples and a man of immense courage, compassion and truth. His music and his words changed and inspired lives, and through them we have gained so much more knowledge and understanding. He has left an extraordinary legacy that will leave an imprint on our nation forever. My condolences to his family, friends, community and all who cherished him. My thoughts are with you all. Vale, Uncle Archie Roach.
