“Keith was the first worker in 32 years and this was the first trip to global markets,” he said.
“After examining the proposed route, he realized that Leo reserved them to Ritz Hotel in Paris.

“Keith called Leo to his office and as a minister of labor, he could not see that he was in Ritz, probably caused the attention of very unwanted media, and that he would not think well that ordinary Alp members are doing in Ritz.”
Realizing the foresight of de Lacy, Sir Leo agreed to organize an alternative accommodation.
“Treasurer was secretly pleased when he stayed in the Hotel de Crillon, who was sitting on and sitting on Place de la Concorde and checked at the beginning of this week – he stayed in a more expensive hotel than the Paris Ritz and stayed in Hotel de Crillon.”
But mostly Sir Leo was remembered on Thursday as a husband, father, grandfather and the love of the grandfather-state and a good Scotch whiskey.
“When I was younger, I never fully understand the size of his success and status in the corporate world, Ly he said.
“To me, he was just his grandfather.
“Most of the time he got away from work – flying around the world for lunch and dinner did not seem very difficult for me at that time.
“He always sent a postcard to me from all over the world, and he returned home with souvenirs from the countries he visited and made great efforts to be a part of my life while at home.”
Other existing honors include former prime ministers Steven Miles, Campbell Newman and Rob Borbidge, Governor Jeannette Young and former Governor Paul de Jersey, on both sides of politics and old ministers.
Sir Leo, who was born in Eumundi in 1926, spent about twenty years in public service, which started a 15 -year -old state audit office in 1942, including the establishment of QTC in 1988.

As a public official, Sir Leo served as Queensland’s assistant under the treasurer and treasurer and reported 10 premiere and 15 points of politics to both sides of politics.
He was the chairman of the foundation of QTC – a position he held for 22 years before his retirement of 2010.
Sir Leo, Gladstone as an Industry and Resource Center, negotiated mining companies and lock contracts to secure the copyrights for taxpayers, and facilitated the development of the Queensland Casino industry and two coal terminals and established the Queensland Treasury Company.
In addition, the 1982 Commonwealth Games and World Expo ’88, which was organized both in Brisbane and as city -shaping activities, played a very important role in delivering 88.
With the support of two -party, the Premier Blight named Toll Road Bridges, who carried the Gateway motorway in honor of his retirement.
In 2019, Hielscher’s Portrait won the Package Room Award at the Brisbane Portrait Award.
On Thursday, this portrait emerged greatly on Sir Leo’s coffin.
