MOTION OF CONDOLENCE – Terry Hampson 161/2014-15 The Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, Councillor Graham QUIRK, announced that before proceeding with the formal business of the day, he would like to pay tribute to Terry Hampson, who had passed away last month. LORD MAYOR: Yes, thanks very much, Madam Chairman. Before proceeding with the formal business of the day, I would like to pay tribute to Mr Terry Hampson, former Australian Labor Party Councillor for MARCHANT who passed away last month. Terry provided a very distinguished service to the residents of Brisbane. He was a gentleman; he was a person who had very, very strong convictions. He was a person who always engaged in a level of debate which was around the [4449 (Post Recess) Meeting – 21 October 2014] - 2 - issues. I can never remember a time when Terry was personal in his debate. He was very much a man of conviction around the strength of an argument. Whilst obviously there were many issues that we disagreed upon, there was always a very high level of respect in that debate, and I always very much respected that this was a man with a clear point of view, a clear conviction to that point of view, and a dedication to representing that view in the best way he possibly could. So Terry in every respect provided very distinguished service to the residents of Brisbane. He was elected on 26 March 1994, and he held a number of key positions within Council. Terry was the Deputy Chairman of the Environment and Management Committee from 1994 to 1997. He was on the Customer Services Committee where he was Deputy Chair in 1997. He was Deputy Chair of the City Business Committee from 1997 to 2000, and on the Customer and Local Services Committee from 2000 to 2003, and on the Urban Planning and Sustainability Committee from 2003 to 2004. Terry was an active member on the Conservation subcommittee from 1995 to 1996. He was on the Community Development Committee from 1994 to 1997, and on the Community Policy Committee from 1997 to 2004. Terry's service to his local community certainly didn't end when he left Council. He has carried on again, particularly in fields that he loved—fields of history, fields of the environment. He was President of the Chermside Historical Society. He included in his interests his involvement in the Wilderness Society and the Rainforest Conservation Society and the Australian Fabians. They were just a few of Terry's involvements and commitment on the environment front. He was a passionate and highly regarded and practising environmentalist. In particular, Terry played a key role in the protection of Fraser Island. He spent nearly 30 years as an Executive Member on the Fraser Island Defenders Committee,
