DARWIN WETLANDS AND MOSS

 
Vale  Richard Moss

News has been received   from Melbourne   about the   death of  Richard Moss , a keen member of the ALP , who spent  schooldays in Darwin .  After  Darwin High School  and  Adelaide  University ,  he  was  employed in  Crown Law  Darwin  1971-74 , then Adelaide and Brisbane  , before joining the  Attorney -General's  Department   in  Canberra. 

With  the Gilbert and Sullivan-sounding title of Inspector-General of Bankruptcy, he rose  to deputy secretary  of  Attorney-General's . He retired early , but two years  ago developed  an inoperable  brain  tumor .

Living  at home in earlier days in  Adelaide "must have been fun ", according to our informant ,  because his mother, Shirley , was president  of the local Liberal branch .
