A State Funeral service for the Honourable John Moore AO will take place at 11.00 am AEST on Tuesday, 4 February 2025 at Christ Church St Lucia, Corner of Central and Ninth Avenues, St Lucia, Queensland.
In 1975, Mr Moore was elected the Member for Ryan in Queensland. He was later appointed a Minister in the Fraser and Howard governments. Mr Moore was appointed Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs; Minister for Industry, Science and Tourism; and Minister for Defence.
Mr Moore retired from politics in 2001.
In 2004, Mr Moore was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for service to the community through the Australian Parliament, to the development of strategic industry policy, and to both policy and management reform in the defence sector.
Details regarding the service and online condolences are available the Department's website.
As a mark of mourning and respect, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast all day on Tuesday, 4 February 2025 in Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory 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.
Your assistance is appreciated.
