[NAME AWAITING VERIFICATION]

Lauren KATHAGE (Yan Yean) (15:53): I have the best people in my community, and that is why today I want to pay special tribute to Sebastian de Spina, who has been recognised for 10 years volunteer service with the SES. What an absolute legend. In that time, he has been part of over 1240 requests for assistance. Over 1240 times he has turned up when others could not. He has turned up at the lowest point of somebody’s life. He has been there to help. And doesn’t he have a fitting surname – de Spina. Because volunteers are the backbone of our community. I know that they stand ready to help and be there for my community, and so I say a very big thankyou.
