 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (10:23): I rise to pay tribute to the many local ALP members who over the weekend received their 40-year life membership medallions. These are true believers of the labour movement who have put in an immense amount of work over decades to improve the lives of Victorians. I would like to recognise in particular members of the Scullin federal electorate assembly: Steve Patullo, Jim Tilkeridis, Sofia Mastoris, Sam Alessi and Maria Merlino. Congratulations to these members of our party. I honour and thank them for their service to the movement.
