Premier
The Honourable Campbell Newman

I'm truly shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Graeme Acton.

He was an outstanding character who was much loved by all.

A hard working Queenslander, he devoted his life to the land and growing the cattle industry in this State. 

He has left a legacy for both rural and regional Queensland and I know his passing will be felt by all Queenslanders. 

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
