Federal Labor expresses its deepest sympathies to the people of Thailand on the passing of their revered head of state, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
King Bhumibol had reigned since 1946, making him the worlds longest-serving monarch.
He was a truly remarkable, unifying figure for Thailand and was highly respected on the world stage.
We know the special place His Majesty held in the hearts of the Thai people, who will be grief-stricken by his death at the age of 88.
We join them in mourning the passing of a great man.
Passing of King Bhumibol of Thailand
