Police said the man helped Mr [Rick Farley] to the top but when he "momentarily" turned around, the wheelchair began to run back down the 15m ramp. Mr Farley fell out of the chair, hitting his head on the concrete.
Tributes for Mr Farley poured in yesterday. Speaking from Washington, John Howard expressed his sorrow and sympathy for his family, including Mr Farley's partner, the NSW Labor MP Linda Burney. "I knew that he'd been ill for a long time," he said. "He played a very significant role in relation to indigenous issues and also, of course, was for a long time the director of the National Farmers Federation."
