accessdate = 2007-10-26 ] After the 1990 election he was not re-elected to the ministry, due to the formalisation of Labor's faction system and the fact that he did not belong to a faction. He did not stand for re-election at the 1998 election. Allan Morris, Member of the House of Representatives for the neighbouring seat of Newcastle from 1983 to 2001, is his younger brother.Notes
