He was:
- A Classical Intellectual
- A Navigator in the RAAF in World War II
- A family man
- One of our greatest politicians in company of Parkes, Chifley and Curtin
Gough gave us:
- Sewers in our great cities
- The beginning of Indigenous land rights
- Free University Education
- Regional Development
- Universal health care
- Bringing Australia to the door of Asia and giving us a respectful relationship with China
We are diminished at his passing - but let us celebrate a life that brought such humanity and grace to our Wide Brown Land
