We have lost a politician with a sense of humour, a sense of duty and remarkable ability

Mar 26, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write in the hope of expressing some little sense of the magnitude of the loss of a very dear friend, colleague and mentor.
Debbie’s life, as I knew it, was defined by several outstanding attributes. Her sense of humour and ready wit immediately spring to mind. Her courage and indomitable spirit as a conviction politician are also legend.
By all accounts she was a formidable attorney-at law, but I knew her best as a political colleague whose radiant personality often brightened otherwise dull, directionless political meetings.
As a conviction politician she understood the importance of service to those who looked up to her and looked to her for a genuine understanding of their problems and their longing for better life chances. She was indeed vested with a unique insight in to their problems and the political solutions required to improve their lives.
She had no problem articulating her views as she fully understood the public interest, and mood along with her role in meeting it.
More than most, she had the common touch.
Debbie crammed a lot more into her short life than most people ever will, especially those who chose the benefits of lifestyle and spend their time aimlessly on the cocktail circuits, drinking and lamenting over the quality of political behaviour.
Yes, Debbie did her part and made her mark. She was a truly remarkable woman and I will never forget her.
