George Wright has served the party he loves with honour. 

As National Secretary, he’s been central to the work of rebuilding Labor, growing our membership and engaging with supporters and volunteers in new and better ways. 

I have worked alongside George in various capacities for 22 years – he’s someone whose advice I’ve always valued. 

He’s a man who stays calm under pressure and, even in the toughest of times, never loses his sense of humour.   

He’s a tireless, creative campaigner every Labor person wants in their corner. 

Our entire movement thanks him for his distinguished service and we wish him all the very best with what the future holds.
