Australia Day awards

David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (12:56): It is a pleasure to rise and recognise the great volunteers, the great local heroes, that we have in our Caulfield district and also many of those in the Jewish community right throughout the state. I would particularly like to congratulate those who were appointed as members of the Order of Australia, the AM, June Factor and Peter Lewinsky; and the Public Service Medal, Jennifer Green and Ms Kelly Stanton. The Order of Australia Medal went to a great husband-and-wife team Peter and Lesley Gaspar that do a wonderful job as a duo, Dr Vivienne Elton, Ms Devorah Komesaroff, Tonina Joel, Barbara Kessel, Colin Krycer, Peter Levi and lastly my dear friend Frank Greenstein. Many from certainly the Liberal Party acknowledge the great work that Frank does in supporting multicultural events and the multicultural community right across the state as well as in Caulfield.
