		Bacon's eulogists recalled a man who was at once deeply sensitive, even fragile, and as hard as nails, a leader who could inspire others with his vision and just as quickly shred their hopes with his dark moods, and a friend who was both fiercely loyal and embittered by dissent.

		Jim Bacon's funeral was a celebration of all the hope and passion that brought the New Tasmania into being - the struggle of Aboriginal Tasmanians for respect and rights, the brilliance of icons like the state's symphony orchestra, the "Chimes of Freedom".

		Jim Bacon demonstrated in my view that he was a courageous man, who, in his final months gave a precious gift to young Australians, with his sincere plea to them to either give up or never take up smoking.
		Amidst this tragedy of Jim Bacon's premature death, I sincerely hope and pray that his warning to smokers of all ages will prompt many people to either stop or at least consider their future and the impact their loss would have on their family and their loved ones.

		Jim Bacon was prepared to stand up and stand up in adversity in some regards against a number of people who did not want to see that venture proceed in the way that it did, but he stood behind it nevertheless.

	It was a long march for Comrade Jim Bacon - Gerard Henderson - www.smh.com.au
		This was appropriate in view of the fact that Bacon (born 1950) was brave in death, refusing to blame anyone but himself for his lung cancer, and that he was a confident and effective political leader in the final decade of his life.
		Bacon was a most successful politician and he certainly played an important role in restoring confidence to Tasmania and Tasmanians.
		Bacon's electoral success turned primarily on his ability to administer the consequences of an economic reform agenda which he had opposed as a Maoist comrade and, later, as a left-wing union militant.
