Vale Geoffrey “Tubby” Shaw OAM

Central Land Council chair Warren Williams paid tribute to former deputy chair Geoffrey Shaw OAM, for his lifelong advocacy and leadership of Aboriginal people across Central Australia.

“Mr Shaw believed deeply in service. To country, to community and to the nation,” Mr Williams said.

“His military service shaped his discipline, leadership and strong sense of responsibility, all of which he carried into his work with the CLC.”

“Mr Shaw’s contribution to this organisation, the land rights movement and the wider Central Australian community will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude.”
