Prime minister pays tribute to Richard Scolyer The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, paid tribute to Prof Richard Scolyer this morning, saying Australia has lost “our brightest lights and one of our biggest hearts”.

Albanese said in a statement: double quotation mark Every day, this remarkable man – the cancer specialist who became his own subject – took us into his confidence, and he lifted us all in the process.

Richard’s journey was difficult and confronting. “My uncertain path”, as he termed it with characteristic understatement.

Yet it was one he travelled with courage, determination, and a grace that never ceased to be remarkable. The way he shared it with us was an act of profound generosity. He showed us what it means to hope, and to keep searching for solutions. He showed us how to stand firm against fear and stay true to yourself.

Now Richard’s journey is done, yet his legacy will always be with us.

Richard Scolyer.
