In 1946, Gollan was recalled to Sydney from his post in Canberra. Officially shifted to administrative tasks, the move was widely interpreted as a consequence of his pointed criticism of political leadership, including his coverage of political transitions such as Arthur Fadden’s replacement. Though no formal censure was issued, his reassignment marked a shift in his professional responsibilities.
Ross Gollan’s career remains notable for its longevity, integrity, and depth of political insight. His work with The Sydney Morning Herald helped shape public understanding of political dynamics during pivotal moments in Australian history. Gollan passed away on November 11, 1961, leaving behind a legacy of fearless political reporting and a lasting impact on the Australian media landscape.
