On 26 January, I was delighted to be able to host the 28th annual Menzies Community Australia Day Awards and to present awards to a number of workers and volunteers in my electorate for their wonderful service, and I'd like to just list them today: John Barnes from the U3A in Manningham; Steve Buys from the Eltham South Preschool; Gee Wing Chung from the Chinese Senior Citizens Club of Manningham; Colleen Danaher from the U3A Manningham; Ross Dawson from MannaCare; Zakir Fakhri from the Manningham Interfaith Network; Malcolm Ferguson from the Manningham Rotary op shop; Ila Franklin from Doncare; Trish Hargreaves from the Manningham Rotary op shop and, also from the Manningham Rotary op shop, Sue Hudson; Alston Jerome from the Australian Air League at Doncaster; Tony Louey from the Chinese Senior Citizens Club of Manningham; Captain Adrian Mullens from the Warrandyte Country Fire Authority; Warrant Officer David Ryan, the President of the Warrandyte RSL; Elizabeth Seward from the Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society; Christian Sharkey and also Stuart Steiner from the Wonga Park Scout Group; Ron Twining from the Templestowe RSL; and Cheryl Watt from Doncare. In addition, I presented to the women's friendship group the Organisation of the Year Award, and that comprised a flag which had flown in this chamber, which the Speaker kindly provides, one to each of us as members, and I present that on Australia Day to an organisation within my electorate. Congratulations to all those involved.
