South Melbourne Life Saving Club

Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (14:32): I rise to acknowledge the amazing work of our local South Melbourne Life Saving Club. Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the club’s annual presentation night. Fittingly, the club’s presentation night coincided with National Volunteer Week, an important opportunity to celebrate the inspiring work of our volunteers. I would like to acknowledge the wonderful work of Alison Porter, president of the South Melbourne Life Saving Club; Nick Vouk, club captain; the board; and all of the other wonderful club members and volunteers who keep our beaches safe. I would also like to pay tribute to the late David Porter. David was a life member of the South Melbourne Life Saving Club, and his passion and contribution were paramount to the club’s modern success. He was devoted to keeping our community safe. My deepest sympathies to his family. Vale, David Porter.
