I as fortunate to spend time with Alan in my @wwos days and he was always a gentleman and very generous with his time #RIP
Vale Alan Jones.
It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends.
As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix.
He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

I received this in the mail today from the Speaker of the SA Parliament @LeonBignell. This was a lovely token of recognition for a job not many people are willing to do.
To the 712 who went before me, thanks for your service, to those who come after me, I wish you every success.

Very sad news about John Baker. He was such a champion for Surf Lifesaving and his community. Condolences to his family. 💔
Commentators raving about Daicos and Anderson (and yeh they were good) but look at Matt Rowell …. he’s a freak.

Billy Moore, Jason Taylor, Mario Fenech and Greg Florimo … magic memories.
This should have happened years ago. 👍🏽

That was a disgrace from Kohli. Imagine if someone did that to him!! He’d be bleating like crazy.

What a career.
What a person.
I’ll never forget how grateful he was that he could come to Adelaide and train and play during the global uncertainty of Covid.
His genuine appreciation for what SA did to keep tennis on court, people active and the world moving was special.

Congratulations.
Love the idea of someone from government looking after junior sport.
Congrats Rhiannon
This complements previous policy of getting “more people more active” and hopefully continues the investment in sport.
Well done @PMalinauskasMP @KatrineHildyard ORSR
