Subject: [atsic] Media Release: Carol Kendall's lasting inspiration
21 January 2002
> Carol Kendall's lasting inspiration
>
> Statement by ATSIC Commissioner Brian Butler
>
> On behalf of ATSIC, I wish to express deep regret and sorrow for the
> loss we feel with Carol Kendall's passing.
>
> She was, and always will be, an inspiration to all of us who knew
> her.
>
> She was committed to bringing honesty to the issue of the Stolen
> Generation and, through that, to the Australian nation. Her determination
> to achieve recognition for the plight of separated families has provided
> an abundance of strength to people working on Link-Up programs throughout
> the country.
>
> Carol's standards, philosophy and principles will never fade - they
> will be carried forward in the work that each of us does as we strive to
> match her enormous contribution to our communities. Even when stricken
> with illness, she continued her work to benefit others.
>
> Apart from her tireless work in reuniting families, she was a
> driving force behind the National Sorry Day movement - a movement that has
> been recognised around the world and that is now being emulated in some
> countries.
>
> On a personal level, I met Carol during my time as chair of the
> Secretariat for National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care.
>
> I was honoured to work and campaign alongside her on countless
> occasions. I know that we can never replace her efforts.
>
> Agencies such as Link-Up in South Australia join ATSIC in expressing
> sadness at our loss, but gratitude for her contribution.
>
> On behalf of Indigenous families everywhere, we want her family to
> know that our hearts are with them and that she lives on within us.
