MELBOURNE — Les Taylor died from AIDS peacefully at home on March 8. Les, a long-time member of the Democratic Socialist Party (then the Socialist Workers Party), was an activist in the Hospital Employees Federation and Central American solidarity movement.

Les was also one of the founders in 1988 of People Living With AIDS in Victoria — now a thriving program of the Victorian Aids Council/Gay Men's Health Centre (running the Positive Living Centre, a community resource for people with HIV/AIDS).

Les died in his Ministry of Housing flat, as was his wish, attended by friends and volunteer carers from the VAC/GMHC.
