Condolence

Banfield, Hon. D.H.L.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:00): On indulgence, I inform the house that Donald Hubert Louis Banfield passed away last night. Mr Banfield was 97 years of age. He was a much respected member of the Dunstan government. Mr Banfield served in a range of portfolios, most notably as minister for health in 1973-79. Once I have had the opportunity to speak to family members, former colleagues and friends, I propose to return to the house and move a condolence motion to acknowledge more fully the outstanding contribution Mr Banfield made to the life of the parliament and the people of South Australia.
