		They were a good combination in other ways: while Wran was a polished leader perfectly suited to the modern media, Ferguson was an old-style loyal deputy, awkward on radio and television but adept in personal dealings, a cigarette in hand as he cajoled obstinate party-room colleagues into accepting the desired government line.
		Wran stood aside during the royal commission that subsequently cleared him, handing the reins to Ferguson.
		Neville Wran paid tribute to his friend as a man of integrity who was "not afraid to be involved in seemingly impossible causes".

	ALP's problems deeper than pre-selections and branch-stacking - 24 August 2002
		At least Neville Wran and Bob Hawke were honest enough to acknowledge in writing the seriousness of the problem facing the party, which has now been beaten three times in a row and shows little prospect of avoiding a fourth loss.
		The message Wran and Hawke got from talking to thousands of people in branches around the country, from 2,000 individual members who had direct input, and from reading submissions from almost 700 others, was clear - Labor's party faithful felt disconnected and ignored by those privileged to have secured a seat in Parliament.
		Wran and Hawke have come up with a series of recommendations which they hope will give a voice to the disenfranchised membership, but avoids tackling a deeper question which is also hidden in the report.

		With that comment, National Campaign Director Neville Wran put his imprimatur on a day in Canberra that was virtually the national ‘launch’ of the ‘Yes’ campaign for next year’s referendum on the republic.
		Mr Wran also said the ARM would also be ‘holding the line’ on the model developed at February’s historic Constitutional Convention, whereby a presidential nominee would be confirmed by a two-thirds majority of both houses of the Parliament.
		Mr Wran said his fervent hope was that the enthusiasm and sheer emotion generated at the Constitutional Convention can be regenerated, and that come the end of 1999 all republicans can achieve their dream.

		I think in recent years undoubtedly Neville Wran would be the Premier I'd identify there, who was a Labor premier from the late 70s through to the mid 80s and was a dominant figure during his time in government.
		Each of the premiers has his or her own relationship with the media but Wran was the first who thought about it in a calculated way and set out to work it to his advantage.
		And he was able to put that professional edge on government and begin to build the sort of economic infrastructure, to begin to take Sydney to the position where it became the dominant financial capital of Australia.

		Part of Mr Anderson's evidence is a claim that during attempts to have his money repaid in 1988, Mr Wran contacted him to warn against any bid to sue then WA premier Peter Dowding due to an upcoming state election.
