On behalf of the parliament, I formally congratulate four outstanding constituents within my electorate of Moore who were recognised in the recent Australia Day Honours List within the Order of Australia for their dedicated service to our community over an extended period.

Mr Norman McKenzie was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in recognition of a lifetime of work in environmental and wildlife conservation as a scientist and zoologist, his career having spanned 45 years with the Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife. Mr Branco Bratich, a resident of Padbury, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to the martial art of karate as a national coach, instructor and administrator. Mrs Robin Bromley, a resident of Hillarys, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to promoting nutrition in schools through her work in establishing the Federation of Canteens in Schools, and the Western Australian canteens association. Mr Ron de Gruchy, a resident of Sorrento, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to retirees and superannuants through his work as President of the Western Australia Self Funded Retirees Association and other organisations.

Congratulations to the abovementioned residents. You can take satisfaction from knowing that our community is a better place as a result of your individual contributions.
