The South Australian Department of the Premier and Cabinet advises that a State Memorial Service for Mr Steele Hall will be held at 2:00 pm on Monday, 1 July 2024 at the Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide, South Australia.
Hosted by the Government of South Australia, the service will honour the achievements and contribution of Mr Hall, whose parliamentary career spanned across 33 years in both State and Federal Government.
Details regarding the service and livestreaming can be found on the South Australian Government website.
As a mark of mourning and respect, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast all day on Monday, 1 July 2024 in South Australia only from all buildings and establishments occupied by Australian Government departments and affiliated agencies. Other organisations are welcome to participate.
- When flying the Australian National Flag with other flags, all flags in the set should be flown at half-mast.
- If a set of flags includes the flags of other nations, it would be appropriate to seek permission from the diplomatic representatives of that nation to half-mast their flag.
- An acceptable half-mast position would be when the top of the flag is a third of the distance down from the top of the flagpole.
- Information on flag protocol is available on the Department's website.
