Lesley McCarthy

Mr PEARSON (Essendon—Assistant Treasurer, Minister for Regulatory Reform, Minister for Government Services, Minister for Housing) (09:44): I rise to acknowledge the fantastic contribution that Lesley McCarthy has made in my community in a number of roles over many, many years. Lesley McCarthy was previously the principal at Flemington Primary School, a fantastic local school, and she has played a pivotal role in Flemington Kensington Rotary. She has worked tirelessly to build our community and make it a better place.

I was with Lesley on the weekend tree planting in the state district of Niddrie with the Minister for Public Transport. It was great to see Lesley there with the other Rotarians building a better community, doing the things that really count and making our community a better place. Lesley, you are a builder, you are a connector. We are so fortunate to have you working tirelessly in our community. In every way you make our community better. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
