I would like to bring to the attention of the House the achievement of two of my constituents, both of whom received the Order of Australia: Trevor Lawrence for his service to veterans and Deadre Ham for her service to the community of Belmont. Deadre has been an outstanding citizen over a number of years. She is involved with the neighbourhood watch and the Belmont High School canteen even though she no longer has any children attending the school. She is a wonderful asset to our community, just as Trevor is a wonderful asset to the veterans community on the Central Coast. I would like to thank both of them for all their work and contributions to our community over a very long period of time. I have to put on the record of the House the fact that they are both real assets to the communities that they are part of.
