Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (09:51): I want to express my gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to all first responders serving the Geelong community. Their unwavering commitment to and care for safeguarding our community is greatly appreciated. The recent events in Geelong, where tragically the lives of three children were lost, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. This impact extends through to all Geelong first responders, Fire Rescue Victoria, the police and paramedics and also resonates deeply throughout the broader Geelong community. I extend my condolences to the family, their loved ones and Geelong first responders who have been significantly impacted by these tragic events. These events underscore the ongoing commitment and the tremendous level of trauma our first responders endure in their relentless efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all of us. Geelong first responders also came out in force with the recent aircraft crash involving our own member for Frankston and 17 others, thankfully with no serious injury or death. This is an example of the work our amazing first responders deal with every day.
