I'd like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to one of my invaluable team members, Sally Short. For six years as an electorate officer, Sally has been an indispensable part of my team. Prior to working in my office, Sally spent 12 years in state electorate offices. I think we would all agree that 18 years in this game is a pretty big effort.

Sally's empathetic and caring nature has made her a pillar of support for so many of my Durack constituents, and her ability to listen and genuinely understand the concerns of our constituents is frankly admirable. Proficient at managing difficult portfolios and addressing complex issues, Sally has always approached her work with grace and determination. Sally's dedication to public service runs in the family, with her mother also having served as an electorate officer. Overcoming many challenges in her life, Sally has always handled them with a calm and thoughtful demeanour. Her deep love for animals is testament to her caring nature.

As Sally moves down south to her newly built home, we will deeply miss her presence in Geraldton. However, we are very excited for her new journey and know that she will bring the same passion and dedication to her new community. They will be very lucky to have her. Sally, thank you for being such a great team member and a fantastic teammate and for the service to Durack. We wish you all the very best in this next chapter of your life. Go forth and be the hippie that you are destined to be.
