RIP Bill Young

Was sad to learn that the Hon Bill Young passed away overnight.

He was the MP for Miramar from 1966 to 1981, and was 95 years old. Up until fairly recently he was a familiar figure at National Party meetings. One daughter Annabel was also an MP, and Rosemary and Nicola were both also involved in politics.

He was Minister of Works and in the Muldoon Ministry and later High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. He also served in WWII in North Africa.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.
