Mary Drost
Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (09:59): I also want to acknowledge and honour the memory of the late Mary Drost OAM, who passed away on 3 January. The Greek community in Australia and beyond are mourning the loss of a heroic activist. She was a benevolent yet fierce political advocate known for fighting tirelessly for environmental issues and more. She was never a bystander in the face of injustice, leading citizen marches against overdevelopment in Jakarta, where she lived for 21 years. In the Greek community she was unstoppable, and I send my condolences to all of her family and friends.
