Uncle Max Dulumunmun Harrison, a Yuin man from the South Coast of NSW, died in the Sutherland Hospital on Saturday morning, his family has confirmed. Mr Harrison died from bronchial asthma and underlying complications, they said. He was 85-years-old.Mr Harrison was a cultural adviser “on health and cultural-related issues” for the Informed Medical Options Party and was promoted as a key speaker at the “Millions March” rally in Sydney’s Hyde Park on November 27.
“He was a very humble person who gave so much to others. He was very family-oriented and leaves behind eight generations of family bloodlines,” Ms Harrison said. In a statement online, IMOParty founder Michael O’Neill described Uncle Max as a cultural adviser to the movement, which opposes mandatory vaccination and claims every second Indigenous child either experienced death or injury as a result of vaccination.There are 156 COVID-19 cases admitted to hospital in NSW with 23 people in intensive care and seven on ventilators.
