I am saddened to hear that Barry
O'Keefe, a former New South Wales Supreme Court judge and commissioner of the
Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), has passed
away.
Mr
O'Keefe, who was 79, had a long and distinguished legal career, serving as chief
judge of the Commercial Division of the NSW Supreme Court and as a judge at
Common Law and the Court of Criminal Appeal.
Mr O'Keefe also served as ICAC
commissioner from 1994 to 1999.
On behalf of the NSW Government, I
extend my deepest condolences to Mr O'Keefe's family, friends and
colleagues.
