English: Wayne Keith Goss (26 February 1951 - 10 November 2014) was Premier of Queensland from 7 December 1989 until 19 February 1996, becoming the first Labor Premier in over 32 years. Prior to entering politics, Goss was a solicitor, and after leaving politics he served as Chairman of the Queensland Art Gallery and Chairman of Deloitte Australia.
The Goss Government introduced social reforms such as decriminalising homosexuality, appointing Queensland's first female minister in cabinet and first female Governor, abolishing the Queensland Police Special Branch and Imperial honours, and made provision to buy thousands of extra university places and hire thousands of new teachers.
After his retirement from politics, Goss served in a variety of community and business roles, including as an Ambassador of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and as a member of a business task force dealing with the aftermath of the 2010-11 Queensland floods.
