Erin Molan has watched on as the parliament delivered a moving memorial to her father Jim, who died last month after a battle with cancer.
On Monday, colleagues of the late Liberal senator and former Army major general gathered to pay tribute to the man they remembered as a 'true patriot'.
His family, including Erin, were in the Senate's public gallery as the speeches were made.
