 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (10:05): The late Jude Perera, a former member for Cranbourne, was a wonderfully kind person, a passionate advocate for his local community and a person who served this place with a quiet yet stoic determination. I have got many fond memories of Jude, and one is from a caucus conference. Jude held the pool table champion mantle very tightly. He refused to be beaten for many, many hours, and he was a real competitor. He loved a challenge. I acknowledge his passing and the loss to his family, his friends, our state and the wider community. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this time.
