Years ago
NH: Vale Ted Mullighan
He had nothing to do with basketball, but one of the most brilliant legal minds and smartest South Australians passed away after a battle with cancer.
After a career spanning over 40 years culminating in him being a Supreme Court Judge, he went on to chair the Children in State Care Commission of Inquiry. Justice Mullighan and his team examined years of alleged sex abuse committed against wards of the state and after 4 years investigation, tabled a 600-page report and referred 400 potential offenders to police for investigation.
He went on to be Commissioner of the Children on APY Lands Inquiry.
A great man whose passing will leave SA much the poorer.
