“Malcolm Fraser was a unique combination – principled and a pragmatist – always determined, whatever stance he took.
He could disgruntle some, more likely because he was not locked into a particular stream of thought or philosophy.
In recent times I worked with him as a fellow member of the advisory board of the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at the ANU.
He consistently presented as a decent human being who believed in decency towards humanity.
I believe this will very much be his legacy.”
The Hon Sussan Ley MP
