Along with Robert Gottliebsen and Stephen Bartholomeusz, Alan also founded Business Spectator, the popular business news and commentary website. Liberal MPs are mourning the death of their colleague Don Randall, but the party will have to find a replacement to run in a by-election for his marginal seat. Mr Randall's death leaves a vacancy in the West Australian seat of Canning, to be filled by a by-election at a time determined by the Speaker. Mr Randall has been hailed as a passionate champion for his state and a friend to many on both sides of politics. "He was a mentor to many and integral to the success of our party in the state of Western Australia," Mr Abbott said in a statement. Fellow Western Australian, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, praised Mr Randall's dedication to promoting the interests of their state. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Mr Randall was liked on both sides of the parliament and was counted as a friend by many within the Labor Party. Source: www.businessspectator.com.au
