Jim Nolan dies, aged 72

 

Liberal senator Jim Molan has died at the age of 72 after a sudden decline in his health.

 

Molan suffered a “sudden and rapid” decline after Christmas before dying peacefully on Monday in the arms of his family.

“He was many things – a solider, a pilot, an author, a volunteer firefighter, and a senator. Most of all, he was an adored husband, father, grandfather, and brother,” his family said in a public statement on Tuesday.
