CPSA is saddened by the political demise of Upper House stalwart Arthur Chesterfield-Evans, nicknamed ACE, who is a staunch campaigner for the rights and living conditions of the disadvantaged.
It was he who was instrumental in getting up the Dental Inquiry and the Funeral Industry Inquiry to name but a few things.
Recently, he also played his part in overturning the interstate ambulance arrangements that would have had NSW pensioners fork out $900 if they had to use an ambulance in Queensland. Arthur pursued the Health Minister with Questions-without-Notice until the NSW Government caved in.
Campaigning for groups such as CPSA will be so much harder without ACE there.
