Well regarded by those on the right of Australian politics, very hawkish on China with the rather outrageous warning that Australia should prepare for military conflict with China in the short term. Leader of the ADF in the unjustifiable invasion of Iraq.

He was too much even for the liberal party that placed him in an unwinable position on their Senate ticket. He was never elected in the first place but parachuted into the role when Fiona Nash was disqualified mid term.

With profound sadness we share that, following a sudden and rapid decline in health after Christmas, Jim died peacefully on January 16 in the arms of his family," the statement read.

"He was many things – a soldier, a pilot, an author, a volunteer firefighter, and a Senator. Most of all, he was an adored husband, father, grandfather, and brother.

"Our loss is immeasurable, but we are comforted in our memoires of a full life courageously lived, devoted to family and in service of the country he loved.”
- Molan family statement

RIP Jim Molan
