Thank a First Responder Day

Mr BATTIN: Tomorrow is Thank a First Responder Day. It is a really important day in our community to get out and thank our first responders, who do an amazing job, whether volunteer or career. I think it is really important at this time that we also acknowledge the work they have done through the Dandenong Ranges as we come up to 12 months since the storms that went through the Dandenong Ranges. We are very proud in the Liberal-Nationals to commit to making sure that there is a new SES station for the Dandenong Ranges, because the pressure that was put on the Emerald SES and other surrounding SESs like Lilydale was overwhelming during that crisis.
