The Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet advises that a State Funeral Service for the Honourable Barry Thomas Pullen will be held at 2:30 pm on Tuesday, 16 July 2024 at Fitzroy Town Hall, Fitzroy, Victoria.
Barry spent over two decades in the public sector before being elected to the Parliament of Victoria in 1982. He served in multiple Ministerial portfolios throughout his career, consistently demonstrating a deep commitment to public service and the betterment of Victorian communities.
Details regarding the service and livestreaming can be found on the Victorian Government website.
As a mark of mourning and respect, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast all day on Tuesday, 16 July 2024 in Victoria 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 the Department's website.
