Former Queensland Premier Wayne Goss has died, aged 63.
According to the ABC a Goss family spokesman, Russ Morgan, confirmed Mr Goss had died in the early hours of Monday morning.
In 1989, Mr Goss became the first Labor premier after 32 years of National Party dominance, much of it under former Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
The Goss Government rid Queensland of the gerrymander, decriminalised homosexuality and kicked-off a series of reforms to protect the environment.
Mr Goss lost government in February 1996.
Mr Goss had reportedly been in ill health in recent years and had undergone treatment for a series of brain tumours.
He is survived by his wife Roisin and two adult children Ryan and Caitlin.
More to come.
