Green Party saddened by death of Sir Paul Callaghan
The Green Party expressed sadness at the passing today of Sir Paul Callaghan.
“Sir Paul was a great scientist and public intellectual,” said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman.
“Our condolences and thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
“Sir Paul’s contribution to New Zealand extended well beyond his scientific research. He was a fantastic communicator who made science understandable and relevant.
“It is rare to have one person be a leader in so many pursuits. His public service was exemplary.
“Sir Paul had important ideas on the future of the New Zealand economy, in particular how we could seize the opportunities of a modern high tech economy.
“Sir Paul’s passing leaves a major gap in our public and intellectual life. He will be missed.”
