Barry Humphries 'brought such joy to every part of Australia', says Anthony Albanese
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has compared Barry Humphries’ two most famous characters, Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson, to the drama in Australian politics in a heartfelt video tribute to the comedian.
“Two halves of the one extraordinary whole. Two contrasting figures who ultimately balanced each other,” he said.
“And if Dame Edna represented the refinement, the consideration and the style of the Upper House, Sir Les was, without doubt, the Lower House - it’s probably safe to say there was never a house any lower than Sir Les.
“No matter how unruly his creations became, it was Barry who had the final word and what a word it was; Barry had the ultimate power, a power he exercised with a glee that never knew any bounds.
“Just like this place (Parliament), he brought people from every state and territory together.
“And, in the process, this genius, this comedic giant brought such joy to every part of Australia. Then, like a never-ending bunch of gladiolus, he showered it upon the world.”
