The worst of times often brings out the best of us. Austin certainly was the best of us, and just knowing he was on our team always meant we felt better about our chances, and the work we were doing. Sad times - but a wonderful legacy.

I finish today - for a while - as a civil servant to take up a new challenge. In doing so, I want to pay tribute to colleagues at all levels across NICS. It won’t necessarily be popular to say it, but as a society we owe a debt to the civil service. (1/4)
