The Hon Jason Clare MP
Minister for Education

I am so shocked and sad to hear that Emma has passed away.

Emma Johnston was one of Australia’s biggest brains and nicest people.

Emma was also one of Australia’s new generation of university leaders and a real reformer.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends and the whole University of Melbourne community.
